BURT — HIGHER FUNGI OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS 187 



Stereum elegans (Mey.) Lloyd ? See Burt, Mo. Bot. Gard. 

 Ann. 7: 105. pi 8, f. 15. 1920. 



On rotten, moss-covered wood, Oahu, Oct., 1911, C, M. Cooke, 

 9-S. 



I should refer these specimens more confidently to S. elegans, 

 had they been found growing on the ground and with the stem 

 not glabrous. 



Stereum latum Cooke & Mass. Grevillea 20: 92. 1892; Sacc. 

 Syll. Fung. 11: 121. 1895. 



F. L. Stevens, £36. 



S. latum was described from specimens collected at Perak, 

 Malay Peninsula, with my preparations and notes of which the 

 Hawaiian specimens agree closely. The specimens have some 

 resemblance to Stereum cinerascens, but are thinner and form 

 large, easily separable, effuso-reflexed sheets, with the reflexed 

 portion standing out 2-3 cm. and extending laterally more than 

 10 cm.; upper surface is strigose-hairy and concentrically sulcate; 

 hymenium somewhat avellaneous when received and with a 

 distinct tinge of pink suggestive of Eichleriella Leveilliana; 

 cystidia incrusted, 30-50 X 11-16 y.; spores hyaline, even, 11 X 

 6 pi; KHO solution bleaches the sections and becomes somewhat 

 vinaceous in their proximity by some substance which it dis- 

 solves. 



Aleurodiscus perideniae (Berk. & Br.) Henn. 



On dead wood having a large pith, E. Maui, July, 1910, comm. 

 by F. L. Stevens, 26. 



The fructifications are very beautiful, having the aspect of 



those of Stereum ochraceo-flavum but a more orange hymenium 

 and wholly different structure. 



Corticium arachnoideum Berk. 



On dead stems of Cibotium, F. L. Stevens, 964- 



Corticium granulare Burt, n. sp. 



Type: in Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb. 



Fructification effused, adnate, snow-white, pulverulent under 

 a lens, very thin, only 15-30 y. thick, not bearing a continuous 

 hymenium but consisting of bushy branched, suberect hyphal
