POLYPOItrS UTTrOSUR. Nt'OS. 



Very euinmunlv distributed tlirougliout the country, o-enerally 

 found growing on the ground, the base of the stipe' attached to 

 rootlets. The pore surface is pure white and fornLs a sliarp 

 contrast to the uniform black of the rest of the fungus. When 

 the i^ore surface is bruised or scratched it quickly reddens. 

 Lloyd considers that the referenee of tliese ^lalayan specimens 

 should rather be to P. Ramosii, Murr. owing to their thin and 

 comparrttively slender structure.
