broad, subventricose, emarginate behind very slightly annexed, pallid, rather 

 thick, indistinctly toothed. Allied to Lentinus scleropus, &c. 



' Panus dealbatus: pileo coriaceo-moUi, flabelliformi, urabrino, striate; 

 stipiteque laterali, longiusculo, comiiresso, vel canaliculato, rursum dilatato, 

 strato albo, subti liter rimoso vestitis; lamellis decurrentibus, distinctis, umbri- 



nis. Pileus three-quarters of an inch broad, flabelliform, sometimes lobed ; 



when moist tough and pliable, umbro-brown, striate ; when dry, white and 

 minutely cracked, as if whitewashed, with a dark border; stem quarter of an 

 inch or more high, dilated upwards, compressed and often canaliculate, per- 

 fectly lateral, of the same color and texture as the pileus; gills narrow, um- 

 ber-brown, distinct, without any veins in the interstices, decurrent and clothed 



below with a white stratum; when dry, brown with a white edge. Allied 



to .^gi farinaceus, Schum, but at once distinguished by its very decurrent gills. 

 There are few prettier fungi than this when dry. Sometimes the stone is 

 forked, and each division produces a distinct pileus. 



'^ Panus angustatus : parvus, tenuis ; pileo spatlmlato, subtiliter pubescente, 

 posticeangustato, farinaceo; strato superiore gelatinoso; stipite brevissimo; la- 

 mellis angustis, decurrentibus. Pileus aboutone inch long,coriaceo-submem- 



branaceous, spathellate or flabelliform, narrowed behind, white, diriy white or 

 yellowish, most minutely pubescent ; upper stratum gelatinous; stem extremely 

 short, being in fact httle more than a continuation of the pileus; gills very 

 narrow, close, decurrent, white, very minutely pubescent, yellowish when 



dry. Somewhat resembling Panus copulalus. Mr. Lea describes it as tough 



when fresh, and it is therefore placed in the genus Panus. 



3 The spores in this species are subglobose or obliquely ovate, and by no 

 means elongated as in other Boleti. In the Ohio specimens I find them mi-
