Pelloporus orient alis. 



This species is allied to Polyporous tomentosus, but differs in 

 its form, setae, and surface, and has no spongy upper layer. The 

 spores we have not found in numbers so that we are very sure about 

 them, and possibly they are hyaline. In that case the plant in its 

 context color, setae and spores is close to Polyporus musashk-iiM'.-. 

 (page 135). While the plant is evidently more closely related to 

 Polyporus tomentosus than to any in the section Pelloporus, we 

 feel it can not be placed with tomentosus in the section Spongiosus.
