102 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



coarsely fibrillose margin ; liymenium fleshy, dingy cinna- 

 mon, cracked when dry; spores elliptical with a minute 

 basal apiculus, pale cinnamon, 11-12 x 7-8 p. 



Coniophora cinnamomea, Mass., Mon. Thel., p. 130. 



Corticium cinnamomeum, Stev., Brit. Fung. ii. 276. 



On wood and bark. Fleshy and rather soft, becoming 

 cracked during drying, sometimes dingy brown. Super- 

 ficially resembling dark forms of Peniophora velutina, but 

 distinguished by the coloured spores and absence of cystidia. 



Coniophora incrustans. Mass. 



Effused, indeterminate, inseparable ; hymenium pale ochra- 

 ceous or dirty white, pulverulent ; spores elliptical, very pale 

 ochraceous, 15-17 X 8-10 /*. 



Coniophora incrustans, Mass., Mon. Thel., p. 132. 



Running over leaves, twigs, &c. Usually forming a thin 

 inseparable film; when perfectly developed the hymenium 

 is compact and almost waxy in consistence, but pulverulent 

 with the mass of spores. 



Coniophora Berkeley!. Mass. 



Effused, determinate, thick ; hymenium becoming much 

 cracked, interstices silky, yellow-brown, assuming a purple 

 tinge with age ; spores ellipsoid with a minute apiculus at 

 the base, yellow-brown, 11-12 X 6-7 p. 



Coniophora Berkeleyi, Mass., Mon. Thel., p. 135. 



On decorticated wood. Very thick and compact for a 

 Coniophora, hymenium becoming much cracked owing to 

 contraction during drying ; the margin is sometimes minutely 

 byssoid. Superficially resembling Corticium lactescens, Berk., 

 but readily distinguished by the coloured spores. 



Coniophora puteana. Mass. 



Broadly effused, rather thick, separable, margin minutely 

 byssoid, whitish ; hymenium dirty yellow, becoming olive- 

 brown, pulverulent, sometimes cracked ; spores brownish- 

 olive, 14-16 X 8-9 fi. 



Coniophora puteana, Mass., Mon. Thel., p. 129. 



Corticium puteanum, Stev., Brit. Fung. 281. 



On bark and wood. Effused, rather thick, waxy when 

 young, sometimes separable as a thick, tough membrane.
