North and South Carolina Fungi; by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley and the 
Rev. M. A. Curtis. 
221. Pol. (anodermei) fissilis, Berk. and Curt. albus ; pileo dimidiato 
vertice elongato rugoso hic illic aculeato-setoso; intus fibroso-fissili in- 
signiter zonato; poris mediis subrotundis acie obtusiuscula. Curt. 
No. 1441. 
Has. On old stumps. North Carolina. 
Pileus 6 inches broad, 2 long, or including the elongated vertex, 84, 
dimidiate undulated, rugose, with numerous raised lines, which are 
sparingly aculeato-setose ; substance splitting into fibres zoned through- 
out. Pores about =, of an inch broad, subrotund ; edge rather obtuse. 
A fine species belonging to the same section as P. spumeus, remark- 
able for its strongly zoned highly fibrous substance; the nearest ally is 
P. borealis, but it has larger pores, firmer dissepiments, and a more 
fibrous texture. 
222. Favolus curtipes, Berk. and Curt.; pileo tenui elici a car- 
noso-rigido glabro; stipite brevissimo disciformi ; poris mediis sinuatis 
plicatis. Curt. No. 1544. 
Has. On dead trunks. Santee TA Mr. Ravenel. 
Pileus reniform, 2 inches broad, 14 long, quite smooth, gid and 
tawny when dry. Stem extremely short, disciform. Pores ṣẹ of an 
inch broad, pale, undulated, and crisped; edge white. 
An extremely pretty species, resembling F. cucullatus, Mont., but 
the pores are less rigid and smaller, and the substance more fleshy. 
223. Merulius incrassatus, Berk. and Curt.; effusus resupinatus, 
crassus margine breviter reflexo; plicis potiarisibus. Curt. No. 150 
Has. On pine stumps.’ South Carolina 
Effused for several inches, resupinate, with the margin shortly re- 
flexed, dirty white, and slightly pres Substance thick, fleshy. Folds 
forming minute shallow brownish por 
Allied to Merulius tremellosus, but thick and fleshy with minute pores 
Merulius confluens, Schwein, which agrees in the fleshy pileus, has evi- 
dently a very different hymenium, and is more allied to Cantharellus 
crispus, and C. retirugus.
