TKABIETES. 193 



Daedalea vermicularis. Pers. 



Thin, closely adnate, broadly effused, pores short, waved, 

 becoming small and rounded towards the margin, flesh- 

 colour with a rufous tinge. 



Daedalea vermicularis, Pers., Myc. Eur. 3, p. 2 ; Stev., 

 Fung,, p. 226. 



On the ground, attached by fibres. 



Daedalea ferruginea. Schum. 



Pileus resupinate or effuso-reflexed, pale yellowish rust- 

 colour; pores rusty-brown, narrowly sinuous, with a con- 

 spicuous broad, sterile margin. 



Daedalea ferruginea, Schum., in Fr., Syst. Myc. i. p. 339 ; 

 Stev., Brit. Fung., p. 226. 



Subcircular, ^1|- in. across. On wood. 



TEAMETES. Fr. (figs. 2,3, p. 184.) 



Pores roundish or more or less elongated radially; dis- 

 sepiments rather thick, often unequal in depth and not form- 

 ing a heterogeneous stratum, hence the trama is continuous 

 with the flesh of the sporophore. 



Trametes, Fries, Epicr., p. 488 ; Stev., Brit. Fung., p. 221, 



Forming a connecting link between the genera Daedalea 

 on the one hand and Polyporus and Polystictus on the other. 

 The former is separated by the long, sinuous pores, and more 

 obvious gill-like form of the dissepiments, the two latter by 

 having the pores of uniform length, the thinner dissepiments, 

 and smaller size of the circular or angular, not elongated 

 pores. 



The species grow on wood, and so far as British species 

 are concerned, are more or less semicircular in form and 

 attached laterally by a broad base, or otherwise resupinate. 

 The substance becomes hard, woody or corky. Several are 

 sweet-scented. 



Hymenophore descending unchanged into the trama of the 

 pores, which is permanently similar to the substance of the 

 pileus. Pores concrete with the pileus, at first very small, 

 then open, obtuse, entire, equal, round or linear, not laby- 

 rinthiform or lacerated. Corky or woody fungi, arboreal, 

 always dimidiate, at first generally fragrant, and never acid.
