103 DECADES OF FUNGI. 
Pileus 3-6 inches across, excentric, convex, more or less grooved 
and zoned, of a rather soft corky texture, covered with an ochraceous, 
often opake, laccate crust, which is in parts sanguineous. Substance 
towards the tubes cinnamon, above ochraceous, not zoned, traversed 
with laccate lines parallel to the surface. Margin obtuse. Stem 2-5 
inches high, 4—1 inch thick, rough, sanguineo-laccate. Hymenium 
white, here and there ochraceous, often partially laccate. Pores 
punetiform, not angular, cinnamon coloured, within stratose. 
This splendid species is closely allied to P. lucidus, but differs in its 
beautiful pale ochre-yellow tint, its punctiform pores, and in its sub- 
stance not being zoned. The true P. lucidus occurs in the same dis- 
trict, retaining exactly the seated of European specimens. There is 
also some resemblance, especially in the punctiform pores, to P. ochreo- 
laccatus, Mont., but the habit and whole appearance of the two species 
is very different.

Has. On oak and Liquidambar. South Carolina. 
Pileus 14-5 inches broad, 1-2 inches long, much effused behind, 
sometimes nearly resupinate, of a soft corky texture, unequal, rugose, 
slightly silky with innate or raised strige which sometimes project 
from the surface, sometimes nearly smooth with innate fibrillee ; margin 
acute. Pores of the same colour as the pileus, middle-sized, J, of an 
inch broad, more or less toothed and lacerated; dissepiments thin, 
often broken up; in some specimens, however, the edge of the pores 
is obtuse. 
Resembling P. borealis, Fries, and P. symphyton, Schwein, but of a 
softer looser texture than either, and having larger pores than the 
former. Specimens vary much, but there appears in none any tendency 
to baee spathulate.
