Stereum cuneatum Lloyd, Myc. Writ. 4. Letter 54:7. 1916. 
“Pileus cuneate, tapering to the base (2 cm. high), cut into 
a few fimbriate segments. Surface pale, smooth. Hymenium 
unilateral, pale yellow (honey yellow of Ridgway), smooth. 
Cystidia none. Spores globose, 33-4 mic., hyaline, smooth. 
The plant grows densely caespitose in the earth, from a common 
mycelial base. It belongs in Section 7 of my recent pamphlet 
on Stipitate Stereums." Florida. 
Perhaps the above is S. Burtianum or S. tenerrimum. 
Stereum cupulatum Patouillard in Duss, Fl. Crypt. Antilles 
Fr. 233. 1904. 
Seattered or close together, orbicular, from  resupinate 
becoming cup-shaped, attached by a dorsal point, coriaceous, 
rigid, hard; external face glabrous, not zonate, brown, the 
margin entire or sinuate, acute; hymenium pruinose, even, 
concave, dull cinereous, reddish towards the border; trama 
compact, brown-umber; spores cylindric-ovoid, colorless, 6X3 x; 
no cystidia. 
Fructifications 6-8 mm. in diameter. 
On bark of Prunus Dussii.—Forest of Buins-Jaunes. Duss,

The above is a translation of the original description; the 
species seems to be very near, if at all distinct from, Stereum 
vibrans, which Patouillard did not recognize among the species 
of Guadeloupe. 
Stereum fragile Patouillard, Soc. Myc. Fr. Bul. 16: 179. 
1900; Sacc. Syll. Fung. 16: 187. 1902. 
Fructification resupinate at first, becoming dimidiate, orbic- 
ular, rigid, hard, more or less incised at first, the margin erect 
and acute; upper surface plane, ochraceous russet, tomentose, 
with some reddish and nearly glabrous concentric zones; trama 
] mm. thick, whitish, compact; hymenium plane, livid, becom- 
ing purplish; cystidia abundant, fusoid, not colored, thin-walled, 
40X10 y. 
On decaying wood. Guadeloupe. 
This fungus is very fragile and divides radially with great
