Polyporus graveolens, Schweinitz, which grows on oak. The pilei in that species 

 are spathulate, the pores invisible to the naked eye, and the substance very 

 hard. 



' PoiTPOBUS NIGER : rcsupinatus, crassiusculus; pileo vix ullo; hymenio 

 nigro ; poris minimis punctiformibus, intus umbrinis ; dissepimentis tenuibus. 



Berk, in Lond. Journ. Bot., vol. iv. p. 104. Elongated, altogether resupinate, 



except at the very edge, where it is slightly raised, dark brown, and pubes- 

 cent: substance, where it is not quite obsolete, dark brown; hymenium black ; 

 pores very minute, punctiform, two lines deep ; edge very minutely tomentose 



with black down, umber within ; dissepiments thin. Nearly allied to Pol. 



tephroporus (formerly P. Surinamensis, Mont.), with which it agrees in many 

 respects. The hymenium, however, is jet black, instead of cinereous, and the 

 inside of the tubes is umber. Like it, it is slightly raised at the edge, and the 

 substance and exposed portion of the pileus are dark brown. The dissepi- 

 ments also in Dr. Montague's fungus are thicker. 



" On a dead limb of Ostrya Virginica, throwing off the bark exactly as in 

 Corticium comedens. 



3 Thametes eactea: pileo laterali, duro, suberoso, explanato, dealbato, 

 glabfo, contextu albo; stipite brevissimo, disciformi; hymenio albido ; poris 

 par vis, subrotundis, acie obtusa. T. incana, Berk, in Hook. I/md. Journ., vol. iv.
