REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST I917 'J'J 



On wood of both deciduous and coniferous trees. 

 Type locality : Sevey, N. Y. C. H. Peck. Also from Ithaca, 

 N. Y., by G. F. Atkinson. Not otherwise known to the writer. 



Daedalea extensa Peck 



44th Rep't N. Y. State Mus., p. 21. 1891. 



Original description. Resupinate, thick, coriaceous, often uneven 

 or somewhat nodulose, the margin at first cottony and white, soon 

 changing to brown, the subiculum slightly rufescent ; pores large, 

 unequal and labyrinthiform, in vertical places oblique, whitish; 

 spores minute, oblong, .00024 to .0003 in. long, .0001 to .00012 

 broad. 



Prostrate trunks of deciduous trees. Salamanca. September. 



This forms patches two feet or more in length on the sides and 

 lower surface of the trtmk. It follows the inequalities of the sur- 

 face, and in vertical - places it becomes more or less nodulose or 

 develops a thick obtuse margin, which is velvety-tomentose and at 

 length dark-brown in color, but I have seen no reflexed margin. 

 It is very suggestive of resupinate forms of T r a m e t e s mollis, 

 but differs from it in the character of the pores, in the thicker subi- 

 culum and in the absence of any free margin. 



Note. According to Dr H. D. House, nothing is left of the type 

 collection of this species except a few wood fragments with very 

 slight indications of a fungous mycelium. It is quite probable that 

 the species will never be recognized from the above description 

 alone. The description reads somewhat like one of the resupinate 

 forms ofTrametes serialis Fries, in which the hymenium 

 had become lacerated and torn. The writer has seen from one of 

 the New England states (New Hampshire) specimens of 

 T r a m e t e s mollis B. & C. that would also answer the descrip- 

 tion fairly well.

Polyporus (Physisporus) fimbriatellus Peck, 38th Rep't 

 N. Y. State Mus., p. 91. 1885. 



Original description. Widely effused, thin, tenacious, separable 

 from the matrix, with a thin white fimbriate margin and a white 

 subiculum, running into rhizomorphoid branching strings of
