to corky, whitish or pallid when dry, tinged pinkish or flesh- 
colored when fresh, 0.2-2 cm. thick; tubes 2-6 mm. long, 
usually in a single layer but sometimes stratified, mouths 
whitish, pallid, or flesh-colored, circular or subcircular, averaging 
4-6 to a mm., the dissepiments rather thick and entire; spores 
(teste Murrill) subglobose, smooth, subhyaline, 5-6 x 6-7 и. 
Usually found on living Fraxinus but sometimes on other 
hosts. Rare. 
The habitat, the reddish blotches on the pileus, and the pink- 
ish hymenium and context in fresh specimens will identify 
the plant. But three collections are known from Ohio; one 
by Morgan, one by W. G. Stover near Columbus, in 1910, and 
one near Camden, Ohio, by the writer, in 1912. All of these 
collections are of the annual form.

Polyporus carneus Nees, Nova Acta Acad. Leop. Carol. 13: 
pl. 3. 1827. 
Plants annual or perennial, sessile; pileus dimidiate, 1,5-5 x 
1.5-10 x 0.3-1.5 em., soft-corky when fresh, firmer when dry, 
pinkish or rosy, sometimes blackish with age, velvety to gla- 
brous, usually azonate, margin thin and acute; context pinkish 
or rosy, floccose or punky to soft-corky, 0.2-1 em. thick; tubes 
0.5-3 mm. long, usually in a single layer but sometimes strati- 
fied, mouths pinkish or rosy, circular or subcircular, averaging 
3-5 to a mm., dissepiments thick and entire. 
Usually on wood of coniferous trees. Rare. 
The species will be recognized by the uniform pinkish color 
of the whole plant. The color is well retained on drying. 
Specimens are in the herbarium of the New York Botanical 
Garden, collected by James, in Ohio. Authorities disagree as 
to the identity of F. carneus and F. roseus Fries ex Cooke.

a central solid core and forming a more or less globose or cylin- 
drical mass 5-12 cm. in diameter; pilei not more than 2 cm. 
broad, but connate laterally, corky when fresh, rigid and firm 
when dry, grayish brown to dull cinnamon-brown, becoming
