luridescens, Jamaica, Murrill. Based on old weathered and discolored specimens 

 of Polyporus obtusus. 



luteo-cinereus, Europe, Britzelmayr. Unknown. Said to have white context 

 and pores, and colored spores. Noteworthy if true, but probably not ture. Britzel- 

 mayr was a great discoverer of things that probably do not exist. 



luteiporus, Europe, Opiz. Xomen nudum. 



Macouni, United States, Peck. No type exists. Given in Saccardo as a 

 variety of Polyporus dichrous which seems to have been a bad guess unless Polyporus 

 dichrous has changed its spore shape since. Instead of being "globose" they are 

 "rod shape" in Polyporus dichrous. 



MacOwani, Africa, Kalchbrenner = Polyporus adustus. Type at Kew. 



macroporus, Java, Leveille. Xo type known, nor any plant known that is 

 "comparable to Polyporus hispidus but covered with a thick, hard scaly crust." 



macroporus, Europe, Britzelmayr. Unknown. Carton not found by me. 



maculatus, United States, Peck. Changed to Polyporus guttulatus but is 

 a synonym for Polyporus alutaceus of Europe. 



Marianus, Pacific Islands, Persoon. The type a single specimen in poor con- 

 dition is at Paris. I believe it to be Polyporus anebus of this pamphlet and if true, 

 a very much earlier name for it. The specimen was glued to paper so that the 

 surface does not show. It may be the red stained form called Polyporus bicolor. 



maritimus, Europe, Quelet. Unknown to any one I think. Quelet sent Fries 

 a specimen but there is nothing left of it now. Said to have fusiform spores 10-12 

 mic. long. General description reads something like alutaceus excepting as to 

 spores. 



Martellii, Europe, Bresadola. A form of Polyporus resinaceus. 



Mexicanus, (bis) Mexico, Patouillard. Unknown to me. Compared to 

 lacteus. 



micromegas, Cuba, Montagne. Types small and unsatisfactory are at Paris. 

 I think they are same as Polyporus guadelupensis. They have been referred to 

 Polyporus zonalis but are different in my opinion. 



microscopicus, Java, Junghuhn. No type found by me. 



microstomus, Cuba, Berkeley = Polyporus concrescens. 



Mollerianus, Africa, Saccardo. This teste Bresadola is a stipitate form of 

 Polyporus vinosus. It seems to occur in Africa only. At Kew is a specimen which 

 is exactly Polyporus vinosus in every character excepting it is reduced to the base 

 to a short stipe. We use the name (page 342) as a form name. 



mollicomus, Europe, Britzelmayr. The description reads like Polyporus 

 borealis. The cartoon I did not locate. His cartoon of Polyporus borealis has 

 not the most remote resemblance to Polyporus borealis, hence you can draw your 

 own conclusions, which is more than you can do as to most of the crude sketches 

 of this modern European "scientist." 



mollissimus, China, Patouillard. Unknown to me. Compared to Polyporus 

 spumeus. 



molluscus, Europe, Karsten. Unknown. From description appears to be 

 the white form of Polyporus amorphus. 



monochrous, Cuba, Berkeley = Polyporus capucinus. This was a mss. name 

 for Wright No. 158 which when published was referred to Polyporus chrysites. 



morosus, Europe, Kalchbrenner = Polyporus benzoinus. Specimens de Thum 

 713 and Rabenhorst 1605 in several museums. In Austria it is said to be "raris- 

 sime" which may explain why Kalchbrenner discovered it to be a "new species". 



nauseosus, West Indies, Patouillard. Not seen by me. Said to be a white 

 species with viscid pileus and foetid odor. Viscid Polyporus are rare. Murrill 

 who has skimmed over Patouillard's herbarium, merely informs us that it is a 

 "doubtful species" but what the "doubt" is about he does not state. 



nidulans, Europe, Fries = Polyporus rutilans. The Friesian name has been 

 generally used in America. Both are legal now, so you can take your choice. If 

 Blytt's specimen of "rutilans Fries in Litt." is correct, Fries had no conception of 

 Persoon's species, and as Persoon gave such a fine illustration of Polyporus rutilans 

 there was not a bit of excuse for Fries to rename it. 



nigro-purpurascens, United States, Schweinitz = Polyporus dichrous as announced 

 some fifty-odd years ago. 



nitidulus, Japan, Berkeley. Type little remnants from which nothing can
