262 OUTLINES or brttisii fungology. 



1. S. confluens, P. ; simple, confluent, -svliite; pileus fleshy, 

 irregular, horizontal, villous; stem somewhat cxcentric; teeth 

 flexuous. — Grev. t. 248. 



On the ground. Not common. At length yellowish, or 

 tinged with brown. Teeth entire, or jagged. 



28. IRPEX, Fr. 



Teeth formed at an early stage of the growth of the subi- 

 culum, concrete with it, and disposed in rows or like net- 

 work, and connected together. 



1 . I. pendulus, Fr. ; pilei membranaceous, plicate, clothed 

 with adpressed, pilose scales, yellow, extended behind, pen- 

 dulous ; margin and large, seriate, incised teeth white. — Alb. 

 and Sckw. t. 6. /. 7. 



On pine- wood. Rare. Scotland, Klotzsch. There is a 

 strong analogy between this curious plant and Lentinus coch- 

 leatus. No one now knows what Hydmim crispiim, Schaiff"., 

 is. It probably belongs to this genus, and is said to have 

 been found by Sibthorp and others. 



2. I. Johnstoni, ?i. 5.; pure white, coriaceo-membranaceous, 

 separable from the matrix ; circumference naked ; teeth com- 

 pi'essed, unequal, disposed in rows. 



On dead branches. Berwick, Dr. Johnston. This was re- 

 ferred to /. lacteus in the ' English Flora,^ but that is a far 

 thicker and very difibrent species. The separable subiculum, 

 and pure, unchangeable white, distinguish it from /. candidus, 

 Weinm. 



3. I. obliquus, Fr. ; eff'used, erustaceous, adnate, Avhite, be- 

 coming pallid; circumference byssoid; teeth springing from 

 a porous base, compressed, unequal, incised, oblique. — Bolt. t. 

 IGT. /. 1.
