Stereum versicolor. Polystictus Friesii. Polystictus pinsitus. Polystictus 

 sanguinarius. Fomes australis. Fomes applanatus. Stereum (Section 

 Lloydiella?) unknown to me, but characterized by a rose color, which, 

 if I knew the foreign species of this genius, would distinguish it. 



Fomes gilvus. Distinctly stratified, but surely only a fomes form of 

 Polyporus gilvus. 



Polystictus, very close to versicolor. Lentinus, two species. 



Polyporus connatus ( ? ) This is a tropical white plant that is a 

 typical Polyporus, both in texture and appearance. It has on the hymenium 

 the same (peculiar) cystidia as Fomes connatus of the temperate world. I 

 have seen specimens from Brazil referred to Fomes connatus, but while 

 some Polyporus species in the temperate world (as gilvus and lucidus) may 

 take occasionally perennial (stratified) form in the tropics, I doubt if the 

 reverse is true. I do not know if this plant has a distinctive name, but it 

 should have. 



Lycoperdon piriforme. Geaster mammosus. A rare species. 



CRADWICK, WM., Jamaica: 

 Stereum (Sp.). 



CROSSLAND, CHAS., England (h) : 



Polyporus caesius. When fresh and moist it turns blue when touched 

 and is then easily known, but the old specimens and dried specimens became 

 pale bluish gray. I never noticed any odor before and am sure the plant 

 has none when fresh, but on smelling the dried specimens in my collection, I 

 think I can detect the same odor in all. The spores ( 1-1 ^x 4-5) are the 

 same as those of Polyporus tephroleucus, but in this species, while the top 

 and pores are grayish in dried specimens, the context remains white. 



Polyporus rutilans (=Polyporus nidulans). Very common around 

 Paris. Cfr. Sanders, Smith, and Bennett, Plate 45, which is a good picture 

 of it. This is said to have an "agreeable" odor, but I have never noticed it. 



Polyporus frondosus. Generally (but incorrectly) called Polyporus in- 

 tybaceus in English mycology. 



Polystictus fibula ? ? Polyporus chioneus. Polyporus tephroleucus 

 Polyporus amorphus. Polyporus destructor. 



DAVIDSON, MRS. E. E., Ohio: 



Phallus duplicatus. A fine specimen. 



DAVIS, SIMON, Massachusetts (i): 



Fomes leucophaeus. Thelephora Caryophyllea. Polyporus rutilans. 

 Bulgaria rufa. Hydnum albidum. Hydnum repandum. Polyporus albellus. 



Myriadoporus (??) This is a myriadoporus condition of some Poly- 

 porus which I can not refer to its normal form. The color and setae suggest 

 Polyporus gilvus, but the spores (2% x 8-10) do not accord with any species 

 I receive which has setae. 



Polyporus admirabilis. Beautiful specimens of a rare species, and Mr. 

 Davis is about the only one of my correspondents who finds it. The spores 

 are cylindrical, 3x8, not globose as inaccurately chronicled. 



Lentinus chrysopeplus (named by Mr. Davis). Cordyceps militaris. 

 Hydnum graveolens. Cordyceps ophiglossoides. Thelephora Schweinitzii. 

 Polystictus cinnamomeus. Polystictus pubescens. Stereum complicatum.
