Fructifications dimidiate, sessile, mostly imbrieated, soft, 
somewhat coriaceous, tomentose, Congo-pink to coral-pink 
when fresh, fading in drying to pinkish buff and light buff, the 
margin undulate, often inflexed; hymenium with the folds 
much branched, porose-anastomosing, drying flesh-ocher to

SN dv thick (1) with a very broad, spongy, upper

M. incarnatus. hyphae 4-5 y in diameter, somewhat incrusted 
р ts р with brownish granules, and (2) with a layer

tudinally arranged, hyaline hyphae 4-5 д in diameter, occa- 
sionally nodose-septate, not incrusted, not gelatinously modi-

collection, even, biguttulate, 4442-25 y. 
Fructification 2-4 em. broad, 4-8 em. long. 
On logs and stumps of white oak, beech, birch, and maple— 
often growing out under, and extending beyond, old fructifica- 
tions of Sterewm fasciatum. North Carolina to Louisiana and 
in the Mississippi Valley. 
Fresh specimens of this species may be recognized by the 
beautiful coral-pink color, soft and rather dry consistency,
