Polyporus annosus. 



As well known Trainetes radiciperda is generallj' considered iden- 

 tical with Pol. annosus. It should be noted, bowever, that at least 

 the original description of Pol. annosus (Syst. Myc. I p. 373) seems 

 to agree better with Pol. ungulaius (Pol. marginatus). The state- 

 ment Ad truncus Betulae» suggests also such interpretation and is 

 not compatible with Tram. radiciperda, which ne ver is found on 

 Betula as far as I know. The size »3 unc. crassus» in quite in- 

 consistent with Tram. radiciperda even if we suppose that »3» is a 

 misprinl for »1», and the word »fere» seems to exclude the possi- 

 bility that »unc.» be a misprint for »lin.». I doubt also that any- 

 one bas ever found the reflexed part of Tram. radiciperda up to 

 »4 unc.» broad. 



Polyporus incarnatus. 



What this name respects seems doubtful. With exception of the 

 word »glaber» the description agrees with the species so named 

 by Karsten of which Rostkovius bas given a good figure under 

 the name Pol. hcematodus. But this figure is cited by Fries under 

 another name (Pol. rufus) and bis own figure (t. 189. fig. 1) seems 

 to represent a different species, viz. Pol. rixosus (also called Pol. 

 coUabens and Pol. emollitus etc). Fries' statement in Hym. Eur. 

 »margo superior passim reflexus» agrees well with Pol. hcema- 

 todus. The surface of said reflexed margin is puzzlingly like that 

 of Pol. dichrous, though these species are certainly distinct. In old 

 specimens the pores often become blackish and in such state the 

 plant bas sometimes been considered as a separate species {PoL
