Lentinus lecontei Fries. 

 Lentinus blepharodes B. and C. 

 Lentinus castaneus E. and Macb. n. s. 



Pileus sinuate-depressed, central portion broad cup-shaped, 

 the margin broadly revolute; stipe stout, solid, white inside, 

 gradualh" enlarged from the base upwards, 4-5 cm. long, 5-6 

 mm., thick below, 9-10 mm. thick above, clothed like the 

 pileus, with a dense, bright chestnut-colored, velutinous coat. 

 Lamellce also chestnut color., scarcely crowded, mostl}^ equal 

 or branched from the base, with some shorter ones inserted 

 towards the margin, not toothed or incised, scarcely decurrent, 

 but with distinct decurrent lines running down the stipe. The 

 margin of the pileus (at least when dry) is distinctly striate, 

 the striae plainly visible, through the velutinous coat which 

 appears to be persistent. Differs from L. blepharodes, B. and 

 C. in its stouter growth, shorter stipe and its persistent, vel- 

 vety coating.
