dissepiments thin, entire to dentate; spores white, smooth, 
cylindrical, curved, 2.7-3.6 x 5.4 и. 
On dead wood of deciduous trees. August to November. 
Common. 
Plants collected in the Miami valley by Morgan and referred 
by him to P. velutinus Fries belong here. Plants distributed 
by Kellerman in his 'Fascicles of Ohio Fungi’ as P. molliusculus 
Berk. are referred to this species. Р. fibula Fries as reported 
by Morgan is probably the same as P. pubescens var. Graii, 
here included under P. pubescens. Hard (Mushrooms f. 339) 
gives a good illustration of the plant. 
8. P. Lloydii (Murr.) Overholts, n. comb. 
Coriolus Lloydii Murrill, М. Am. Flora 9: 23. 1907. 
Pileus rather thin, laterally connate, rigid, tough, cuneate 
to flabelliform, applanate, tubercular-sessile, 2-3 x 3-4 x 0.2-0.4 
em.; surface white or isabelline, scabrous, somewhat rugose, 
marked with a few narrow, indistinct, pale latericeous zones; 
margin thin, fertile, irregular, lobed; context punky-fibrous, 
white, 1.5-2 mm. thick; tubes 1-1.5 mm. long, white within, 
mouths angular, subglistening, 4 to a mm., edges thin, firm, 
dentate, white or isabelline; spores globose, smooth, hyaline, 
2 u; hyphe 5 y. 
On dead wood. Rare. 
The above description is taken from the ‘North American 
Flora.’ The type specimens were collected near Cincinnati, 
Ohio, by C. G. Lloyd, and to the writer’s knowledge the plant 
has not been found since. Тһе species appears to be distinct.

Plants sessile, effused-reflexed or resupinate, often imbricate; 
pileus dimidiate or laterally confluent and elongate, 0-5.5 x 
1.5-6 x 0.2-1.5 em., soft and pliable when fresh, slightly 
flexible to rigid when dry, white, pallid, bay, or ochraceous, 
appressed-fibrillose, usually rough, azonate or subzonate, the 
margin thin and acute; context white or whitish, fibrous-tough 
when fresh, soft-corky when dry, 1-5 mm. thick; tubes white, 
becoming bay on drying, 2-5 mm. long, the mouths circular 
to angular or sinuous, averaging 1-2 to a mm., the dissepiments
