2. Phellodon alboniger (Pk.) Banker 



Plate 26. 



We have not found this in Chapel Hill and take the following from 

 Beardslee's notes: 



"Cap 2.5-7 cm. broad, nearly plane or slightly depressed at the 

 center, pale, almost white, with a tomentum which covers the entire 

 upper surface, in section showing two distinct layers, the outer pale, 

 soft and usually water-soaked, the inner blue-black and hard. 



"Tef^th slender, white or gray, crowded, decurrent. 



"Stem short, hard and black within, covered on the outside with 

 a soft, spongy paler layer. 



"This is not like any of our other species. The hard, black core 

 and paler, spongy exterior are quite marked. I find it in oak woods."

3. Phellodon tomentosus (L.) Banker 



This is reported by Schweinitz, but we have not found it, and its 

 occurrence in this state must be considered doubtful. It is mostly 

 northern in its distribution and except for the record by Schweinitz
