YASUDA, PROF. A., Sendai, Japan (aa): 



Photograph of Lasiosphaera Fenzlii. The plant is 25 cent, long and 

 20 cent. wide. This is the gigantic puff ball of the East, and replaces 

 there Calvatia giganteum of Europe and America. 



Trametes hisipda. Merulius tremellosus. Fomes fomentarius. Fomes 

 applanatus. Fomes leucophaeus. Fomes nigro-laccatus. Polyporus 

 adustus. 



Polyporus amorphus. Frequent in pine regions in Europe, though it 

 seems to be absent from America. Its occurrence in Japan is therefore of 

 special interest. (Note Since this was in type, received by me from Mr. 

 Weir, Idaho.) 



Lenzites betulina. Pale form slightly daedaloid. In Europe and United 

 States this never takes daedaloid forms to my knowledge. Polyporus 

 secernibilis. Polyporus gilvus. Polyporus adustus, form. Polyporus 

 varius. Polystictus Pocas. Polyporus semilaccatus. Polyporus varius. A 

 thin form. 



Also several collections, mostly Polystictus, unknown to me. There 

 is one Fomes and one Polyporus with very marked characters, but unknown 

 to me and I believe unnamed. 



Polyporus dichrous. Pleurotus (Sp.). Polyporus, unknown to me. 

 Hydnum repandum, Fr. var. album. Polyporus (Sp.). Thelephora (Sp.). 

 Polystictus cinnamomeus. Guepinia spathulata. (This is the slender va- 

 riety called Guepinia fissa.) Thelephora (Sp.). Fomes (Ganodermus) leu- 

 cophaeus. 



Polystictus luteo-olivaceus var. fuscus. This seems to be the same as 

 to surface, context, pores, and all essential characters as luteo-olivaceus of 

 Africa and Australia. The color of the plant and color of context is 

 darker. 



Hypoxylon (Sp.). Stereum bicolor. Hydnum imbricatum. 



Polyporus pocula. The occurrence of this unique little species (cfr. 

 Myc. Notes, Polyporoid Series, p. 44, and Stipitate Polyp., p. 140) in Japan 

 is of much interest. At Berlin there is one collection made in Japan and 

 this is the second one known to me from Japan. 



Trametes confragosa. A strigose, trametoid form of Daedalea con- 

 fragosa. Hirneola auricula- Judae. 



Polyporus. This belongs in same section with Polyporus gilvus, same 

 setae on hymenium, and same general color. The context is quite different 

 in texture from gilvus. I do not think it has a name. 



Polyporus ochroleucus. Panus dealbatus. Very rare in America and 

 unknown from Europe. First record from Japan, I think. Thelephora 

 (Sp.). Helotium citrinum. 



Polyporus. Unnamed. Stipitate. Belongs to Section 46 (?) of recent 

 pamphlet. The stipe shows dark and it may be a Melanopus in Section 51. 

 The specimen has evidently changed so much in drying that color notes from 

 a fresh specimen and photograph would be advisable before naming it. 



Daedalea unicolor? It appears too smooth, but is old and the hirsute 

 covering may have disappeared. Polyporus Schweinitzii. Enteridium 

 Roseanum. Lycogala Epidendrum?- Platygloea (Sp.). Stereum (Hymen- 

 ochaete). Strongly marked with zonate pileus. TJie setae are very pale 

 color.
