THE TUBE-BEARING FUNGI 



431 



This is a very 

 interesting- plant 

 and quite rare in 

 Ohio, however, 

 I found several 

 plants in the fall 

 of 1905, on 

 Ralston's Run. 

 In the same lo- 

 cality I found 

 Boletus badius, 

 and when I first 

 saw C. Greenii I 

 came near mis- 

 taking- it for the 

 same plant and 

 so neglecting it, 

 the caps being 

 at first glance so 

 much alike.

Glceoporus. Mont. 



Gloeoporus is from two Greek words, meaning gluten and pore. The plants 

 of this genus resemble the polyporus and are frequently placed under that genus. 



Gloeoporus conchoides. Mont. 



Conchoides means like a shell. 



The pileus is leathery or woody, at first fleshy, soft, effused, with upper 

 margin reflexed ; thin, silky, whitish, with edge of the margin often reddish. It 

 has a trembling, gelatinous, spore-bearing surface, often somewhat elastic. 



The pores are short, very small, round, cinnamon-brown. 



There are several synonyms. Polyporus dichrous, Fr., and P. nigropur- 

 purascens, Schw. Montgomery places it in the above genus because of its gelatin- 

 ous hvmenium.
