Haz. On fallen branches. South Carolina. 
Forming orbieular patches about an inch in diameter, nearly white 
with a pale ochraceous tint, thin, margin minutely byssoid, sometimes 
slightly raised. Teeth short, compressed, minutely ciliated with fine 
flocci extending to the very margin where they are merely little downy 
fascicles. 
Resembling resupinate forms of Hydnum ochraceum, but differing 
widely in the nature of the teeth.

Pileus 23—4 inches broad, 13-2 inches long, flat, expanded, dimi-

margin acute. Teeth half an inch or more. long, compressed; those 
towards the centre mostly subulate, towards the margin much eom-

Has. High up the trunk of a living oak. North Carolina 
White, corky, beautifully zoned within, two inches thick, decurrent, 
subimbricate, with the pilei, which are four inches broad, slightly pro- 
jecting. Surface of pilei minutely pubescent, at length smooth. Teeth 
mellar, 41 an inch long, compressed, grooved, sometimes subuiate, 
with the apices frequently fimbriated. 
This curious Zrpez differs in its thick corky pileus and zoned sub- 
stance from all described species. It probably grows to a large size, as 
the m are young.
