Distinguished from Tramctes and PoJi/purun by the very 

 much contorted and sinuous pores ; flesh at flrst soft and 

 moist, trama jiresent, but not distinct in colour or texture 

 froiu flesh of pilous.

 which is firmer than in Tramefes. Pores, when fully formed, 

 lab3rinthiform, lacerated, and toothed. In habit the species 

 resemble Tramctes, but they are inodorous, and must not be 

 confounded with the siiecies of Poli/jjurus that have elougated, 

 curved pores. (W. G. Smith.)
