eted or honeycomb heart rot. North Carolina and Ohio to 
Mexico, and in Cuba. 
In general aspect S. subpileatum is not distinguishable from 
S. sepium and S. insigne; it is more commonly met with than 
these latter species and with them occurs on oak logs, is also 
tobacco-colored and sulcate above and has a whitish hymenium 
which differs from the other species of this group by containing 
cylindric, inerusted cystidia and only very rarely an occasional 
paraphysis with its outer portion of bottle-brush or aculeate 
form. Usually such paraphyses are not found in preparations 
of the hymenium of this species. Occasionally preparations 
may show young cystidia which are merely rough above or some- 
what aculeate. One must not confuse S. subpileatum with the 
other species which have numerous and conspicuous bottle- 
brush paraphyses.
