It is not without some hesitation that our specimens are 
referred to this species, for, though they agree very well with 
specimens published under this name by Mr. H. W. Ravenel 
and with those distributed by the late Dr. Curtis, they do not 
well agree with the published description of the species. In 
color they are bright red inclining to cinnabar, the surface 
often suffused with a slight bloom or pruinosity. The margin 
on smooth surfaces is obscurely radiately wrinkled, giving the 
idea of a Phlebia, and this illusion is further sustained by the 
hymenium in the dried specimens becoming radiately rimose. 
The substance when fresh is blood red within, and the mycelium 
is of a beautiful yellow color and penetrates the matrix. It is 
sometimes confluent, forming patches several inches in extent. 
CORTICIUM SUFFOCATUM 2. Sp. 
Effused, indeterminate ; subiculum whitish or pale tawny, 
composed of intricate webby filaments ; hymenium tawny- 
brown, of a smooth,waxy appearance when moist, dusted by the 
spores and more or less rimose when dry, revealing the paler 
subiculum through the chinks; spores elliptical, colored, .0004 
long, .0003' broad.
