"Tachyporus granum Gravenh." 

 Late7- citations: C. gramilum (Grav.), by Leach, 1824, p. 176. C. agaricina 

 (Linng), by Shuckard, 1839, p. 122, not originally included. 0. granum

 Discussion : The trivial name granum was never used by Gravenhorst. It is 

 best regarded as an error for granulum, which is the species in question.
