PHLEBIA RADIATA, Fr. 



Dead bark of wild bird cherry, Prunus Pennsylvanica. Conk-

 nearly to variety, pallida Fr. It sometimes forms extensive patches 

 b}^ the confluence of many individuals. 



ODONTIA FIMBRIATA, Pers.

with the subiculum thicker than usual and finely rimose. Variety 



rimosa. 



PENIOPHORA NEGLECTA, Pk.

CORTICIUM MARTIANUM, B. & C. 



When well developed this is a highly colored and very showy 

 species. At first a small orbicular tuft of strigose radiating hairs 

 appears. The center of the tuft soon asstmie a reddish tint, which 

 again changes to bright-red or scarlet and becomes waxy. The 

 hymenium is now covered with irregular rugae or folds giving the 

 plant the appearance of some species of Phlebia. With advancing 

 age the hymeniimi loses its brilliancy and becomes tinged with 

 brownish, grayish or olivaceous tints, but the margin retains for a 

 longer time its bright-red color, which fades to gray on the extreme 

 fimbriate edge. The mycelium is yellowish. Metuloids have been 

 seen in some specimens, but they are rare. 



SPH^ROPSIS MALORUM, Pk. 



This has occurred on leaves of apple trees, but in this case with 

 perithecia rather smaller than in the type. 



MARSONIA JUGLANDIS, Sacc.

 epiphyllous, and occurring on small or large spots and with few or 

 many nuclei.
