POEIA. 197 



Trametes mollis. Fr. 



Resupinate, often broadly effused, determinate, submem- 

 branaceous, separable, pale wood-colour then brownish, 

 margin at length more or less reflexed, umber and pubescent 

 below ; pores large, unequal ; dissepiments often torn.

 p. 223. 



Polyporus cervinus, Pers., Myc. Eur. ii. p. 87 ; Berk., Outl., 

 p. 247. 



On wood and branches, especially beech. Well marked 

 by the resupinate habit and large, irregular, shallow pores, 

 measuring on an average, f-1 mm. when angular or roundish, 

 often larger and elongated, but not sinuous as in Daedalea. 

 Becoming blackish ; often subcircular at first, then elongated 

 for several inches. 



Trametes Terrei. B. & Br. 



Eesupinate, pulvinate, about 3 in. across, 1 in. thick in 

 the centre, thinning away on every side to the margin; 

 substance white, corky, firm; pores angular, rather large, 

 here and there sinuate, pallid. 



Trametes Terrei, B. & Br., Ann. Nat. Hist. n. 1571 ; Stev., 

 Brit. Fung., p. 223. 



On beech. The type specimen, fortunately, is in a good 

 state of preservation, and is likely to remain unique, as 

 suggesting a " sport " more than the type of a new species. 

 The pores average about ^-f mm., here and there elongated 

 and more or less wavy or sinuous. 



POEIA. Pers. (figs. 11, 12, 21, p. 184.) 



Entirely resupinate, forming more or less extended patches 

 or thin membranaceous expansions; pores forming a con- 

 tinuous stratum, springing from a thin woody or waxy layer 

 which in some instances is exceedingly thin and rudimen- 

 tary. 



Poria, Persoon, Syn., p. 542 (as a subgenus) ; Sacc., Syll. 

 vi. p. 292. Polyporus (resupinatae) of most authors. 



Separated from the old genus Polyporus on account of the 

 entirely resupinate habit. It is probable that many forms 

 at present considered as species will prove to be resupinate
