Indiana Fungi—Vv. 211 
Mycologia p. 110, 1920) says in part: “This species was first described by 
Peck in his annual report in 1891 as follows: (Then follows Peck’s report). 
The type collection is gone and there is nothing left but the description ; 
but this,like most of Peck’s descriptions, is exceedingly good. I have a 
specimen collected a few years ago at Bloomington, Indiana, by Van Hook 
(2898) on ocak and tulip-tree wood. This specimen corresponds to Peck’s 
description, except that the hymenium is avellaneous instead of whitish. I 
have compared it with a number of resupinate specimens of Trametes mollis 
and find that it differs from them just as Peck said—especially in the 
character of the pores, the thicker context, and the absence of any free 
margin. The young margin is tomentose and whitish, becoming fulvous or 
brown in dried specimens. To clear up a doubtful species is much better 
than to describe a new one; and mycologists are indebted to Professor Van 
Hook for his timely aid in this addition to our knowledge of a very rare 
and interesting species, which is now known from two localities instead of 
one.’ (Note: Through error this material was labelled as being collected 
at Bloomington. It should read as being collected at Borden, Clark County, 
Indiana. )

Poria incerta (Pers.) Murr. On beech, Brown County, October 22, 1908. 
A. G. Wood. 2038. This species is common on other deciduous woods. 
Murrill says it prefers conifers, where it produces brown rot. Also it 
attacks a large number of deciduous woods. 
Poria medullapanis (Jacq.) Fr. This is Polyporus dryinus of B. & C. 
On red-oak, City Water Works, October 27, 1908. 2194. On maple, Clark

Farm, July, 1920. 3795. 
Ceratostomella barbirostris (Duf.) Sace. Extremely common on dead 
maple throughout the southern part of the state. It is usually found on 
decorticated wood, but may occur also upon the bark. Fruiting specimen 
number 38678 grew over the bark. Specimens with spores were sought for 
eight years and spores not found until April, 1916, when it was determined. 
The spores are 5 to 7% by 2%. The asci are 33-88 by 3% to 5 microns. 
Oliye-brown pubescence is abundant in number 3672. 
Ceratostomella echinella E. & E. Jolietville, Hamilton County, January 17, 
1914, G. B. Ramsey. The spores in this specimen (8681) measure 3% to 
4% by 1% to 1%. Asci, 26 to 30 by 3% to 4%. 
Diatrype platystoma (Schw.) Berk. On Acer Saccharinum, 1911. Owens,
