OVERHOLTS—THE POLYPORACE OF OHIO 123 
Growing on burned earth. July to November. Not common. 
Тһе plant closely resembles the next species but is separated 
from it by the habitat and the dull cinnamon or cinnamon-gray 
color of the zonate pileus. Polystictus proliferus Lloyd is said 
by its author to be a form of this species. It was collected 
near Cleveland. This species is illustrated by Atkinson (Mush- 
rooms f. 187), Hard (Mushrooms f. 346), and Lloyd (Муе. 
Notes Polyp. Issue 1: f. 201).

Pileus stipitate, circular in outline, convex-depressed to 
umbilicate, 1-5 ст. broad, 1-3 mm. thick, pliant and tough, 
bright cinnamon-rufous to bright amber-brown, silky fibrillose, 
the fibrils sometimes suberect towards the center of the pileus, 
silky striate, sometimes zonate, margin thin and acute; context 
cinnamon or rusty brown, fibrous, less than 0.5 mm. thick; 
tubes not more than 2 mm. long, the mouths rufous-cinnamon, 
angular, averaging 2-4 to a mm.; stipe central, cylindrical, 
concolorous with the pileus, velvety to villous, 1-4 cm. long, 
1-3 mm. thick; spores (teste Lloyd) pale colored, elliptical, 
smooth, 5-6 x 7-10 џ. 
Most frequently on clay banks, usually among moss. July 
to September. Not common. 
Distinguished from P. circinatus Fries, and P. obesus Ellis 
& Ev. by the very thin context; from P. perennis L. ex Fries 
by the silky pileus and the habitat; from P. focicola Berk. & 
Curt. by the much smaller pores. For illustrations see Lloyd,
