TRAMETES. 195 



Gregarious but scarcely caespitosely imbricated; pileus 

 corky, whitish, at length powdered with green, pulvinate, 

 elastic, subtomentose, sometimes zoned, size variable (1-4 

 in. broad), base often porrecto-gibbous, margin obtuse, 

 often obscure grey, pileus at length becoming greyish ; flesh 

 white, very tough, pores oblong, straight, some subrotund, 

 white. (Fries.) 



The green colour mentioned by Fries is due to the pre- 

 sence of minute algae which grow amongst the tomentum of 

 the pileus.
