 Proc. 33: 173. pi. 20, f. 56-78. 1907. 



Type: in Burt Herb. 



Fructifications broadly effused, thin, adnate, membranaceous, 

 tender, small pieces separable when moist, flesh-pink when fresh, 

 fading to ivory-yellow in the herbarium, at first with the hy- 

 menium interrupted, at length continuous, waxy, even, the margin 

 thinning out, with the hyphae interwoven; in section 100-200 (x 

 thick, not colored, with the hyphae suberect, interwoven, more 

 loosely arranged near the substratum, 3 3J^ (j. in diameter, not 

 incrusted, occasionally nodose-septate; no gloeocystidia ; basidia 

 4-spored; spores pale rose when first collected, fading to white, 

 even, cylindric, slightly curved, 4-5 X l}^-2 ;x. 



Fructifications 3-12 cm. long, 2-6 cm. wide. 



On bark and wood of decaying logs of Fagus, Populus, Quercus, 

 etc. Maine to Louisiana and in Missouri. October. Occa- 

 sional. 



This species may be recognized by its broadly effused, thin, 

 flesh-pink or pale rosy salmon fructifications, fading upon drying 

 to nearly white and by the small allantoid spores. In his dis- 

 cussion of a portion from my type, comm. to Bresadola under the 

 name C. rubropallens, Bourdot & Galzin, Soc. Myc. Fr. Bui. 27: 

 258. 1911, regard their C. subtestacewn as a synonym and C. 

 incrustans v. Hohn. & Litsch. as scarcely distinct. I have not 

 seen specimens of the latter species and those of the former, com- 

 municated to me by Bourdot, are hardly convincing.
