The mycelium of this plant often attains a very extensive 

 gi-owth, forming large soft snowj'-white patches, which at 

 length shrink into a drab-coloured web. The hymenium, when 

 developed, is verj'^ beautiful, being of a bright sub-olivaceous 

 orange, and forming unequal, shallow, poriform depressions, 

 which are often beaded with limpid drops. On beams, planks, 

 wainscotting, timber, &c., where the ventilation is imperfect.
