Fungi with Pores Polyporaceae 



Lenzites separia 



Leathery shells, with the upper surface marked with rough 

 zones of various shades of brown: the under surface with brown, 

 radiating, papery gills. 



GENUS D/EDALEA 



The genus Dcedalea has the spore-bearing surface in the 

 form of winding and labyrinthine lamellae, so that instead of 

 pores there are irregular branching slits on the under surface. 

 These fungi are normally sessile, woody, and hard. 



Daedalea unicolor 



Dcedalea unicolor is in form like a full leather ruffle with 

 scalloped edge, so full that the scallops overlap. The branching 

 slits are very minute, and the upper side is in zones of tan colour, 

 with a plush-like surface. The zones are often tinged with blue 

 or green from algae which grow upon them. 



Daedalea confragosa 



Dcedalea confragosa has a rough grey upper surface, and 

 grows from the centre in the form of depressed sessile caps. 

 The texture is firm and leathery. 



quercina (SEE PLATE FACING PAGE 122) 



Dcedalea quercina is a woody or corky species, rugged, and 

 without zones on the surface. At first it is porous ; then, by 

 the breaking down of the walls of the pores, slits are formed, 

 with blunt partitions. It is common on oak trees.
