Ab THIRTIETH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 
POLYPORUS CONNATUS Weinm. 
Trunks of maple trees, Acer saccharinum. Sandlake. 
October. 
PoLyPoORuUS (INODERMEI) BALSAMEUS 2. Sp. 
Pileus rather thin, corky, plain, about one inch broad, ses- 
sile or spuriously stipitate, slightly and unequally villose- 
tomentose, pale-brown marked with lighter concentric zones ; 
flesh white; pores short, minute, subrotund, the thin dissepi- 
ments acute, denticulate, white. 
Trunks of balsam trees, Abies balsamea. Adirondack Mts. 
August. | 
The villosity is so slight that it may be easily overlooked. 
It is not uniformly distributed over the whole surface but 
occurs in zones or patches. The species is apparently allied to 
P. zonatus. 
POLYPORUS OBDUCENS Pers. 
Decaying wood. Buffalo. June. Clinton. 
PoLYPORUS CALLOSUS Ff’. 
Decaying wood. Buffalo. December. Clinton. 
POLYPORUS FARINELLUS FY. 
Decaying wood. Alexandria Bay. July. Clinton. 
Hypnum WEINMANNI /7. 
Decaying wood. Bethlehem. October. 
IRPEX SINUOSUS Ff’. 
Dead branches lying on the ground. Wynantskill, Rens- 
selaer county. November. 
IRPEX FUSCOVIOLACEUS 47. 
Decaying trunks of spruce, Abies nigra. Adirondack Mts. 
July. 
Our specimens are not ‘‘silky,’’ as required by the descrip- 
tion, but villose or tomentose-villose as in Polyporus hirsutus 
and P. abietinus, the latter of which this species closely resem- 
bles. The hymenium, however, is coarser, more highly colored 
and lamellated to such an extent that young specimens might 
easily be taken for a Lenzites. 
IRPEX OBLIQUUS FT. 
On dead oak and alder trees. North Greenbush, Center and 
Sandlake. October and November. 
At first it looks more like a small white orbicular resupinate 
Polyporus than an Irpex. Very common.
