168 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



somewhat coriaceous, acute, entirely concrete with the pileus, 

 placed in rows, or netted and connected at the base into 

 lamellae, or porous folds. Lignatile fungi, rather coriaceous, 

 approaching Lenzites and Daedalea, but the hymenium is 

 toothed from the first, the teeth not lacerated. (Fries.) 



Irpex pendulus. Fr. 



Pilei menibranaceous, elastic, plicate, minutely squamuloso- 

 pilose, pale yellow, free above and pendulous ; teeth in irre- 

 gular rows, about 1 line long, more or less incised, shining 

 white. 



Irpex pendulus, Fries, Elench., p. 143 ; Stev., Fung., p. 249. 



On pine wood. More or less circular, thin, 1 1|- in. across, 

 extended behind and pendulous. 



Pileus 1 in. or more broad, very thin, somewhat resembling 

 paper, capable of being folded up or stretched, concrete or 

 infundibuliform, from a stem-like base, clothed with long, 

 even, pilose scales, so closely pressed that the whole surface 

 appears slightly rugulose ; spines distinct, chiefly seated on 

 the produced base, which is at length brownish, various in 

 form, generally arranged in rows. (Fries.) 



Irpex spathulatus. Fries. 



Broadly effused, inseparable, whitish, margin byssoid, 

 becoming denned; teeth compressed or spathulate, 2-3 lines 

 long, coarse, springing from reticulately arranged folds. 



Irpex spathulatus, Fries, Elench., p. 146; Stev., Fung., p. 250. 



On larch, &c. Not porous, teeth large and compressed, 

 often buff when dry. Often effused for several inches. 



Irpex obliquus. Fr. (figs. 6, 7, p. 149.) 



"White or pallid, broadly effused, inseparable, margin 

 byssoid ; teeth oblique, thin, compressed, incised or torn, 

 2-3 lines long, rather crowded, springing from reticulately 

 arranged folds. 



Irpex obliquus, Fries, Elench., p. 147 ; Stev., Fung., p. 250. 



On stumps, dead branches, &c. Effused for several 

 inches, superficially resembling some forms of Poria vaporaria, 

 where the pores are torn, but coarser. 



This spreads in irregular patches on the surface of decaying 

 wood. The pores for a small space round the margin are 

 round and distinct, but towards the centre are greatly
