6TH GENERAL DIVISION, FUSCUS. CONTEXT 

 SOME SHADE OF BROWN. 



SECTION 69. CONTEXT BROWN. SETAE, NONE. SPORES HYALINE. 

 A. Context light brown. 



FOMES CALKINSII. Pileus unguliform, with smooth, hard, 

 reddish brown, at length black crust, furrowed by the overgrowing 

 layers. Context color fulvous (ochraceous tawny) brown, hard, 

 woody. Pores minute, with darker mouths, but the tissue is exactly 

 concolorous with the context. Spores 5-6 x 10, hyaline, smooth (not 

 guttulate or granular contents). Setae, none. 



This is a species of Florida, growing on the oak. It was sent to 

 Ellis by Calkins, and Ellis referred it to Fomes igniarius. I found it 

 rare in Florida. I do not find spores in dried specimens. My record 

 is from those thrown down from fresh specimens. Fomes Calkinsii 

 is quite close to Fomes robustus, but has darker context color and 

 different spores. 



FOMES ROBINSONIAE. Pileus applanate, with a rough, 

 brown, sulcate surface. Context bright yellow (raw sienna). Pores 

 minute, in uneven layers with concolorous tissue and dark, velutinate 

 pore mouths. Setae few. Spores globose, hyaline, 3-4 mic.
