  and 
  

   July. 
  

  

  The 
  masses 
  of 
  spores 
  often 
  occupy 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  little 
  

   protuberances 
  of 
  the 
  wood, 
  as 
  if 
  the 
  fungus 
  prevented 
  or 
  

   retarded 
  the 
  decay 
  and 
  wasting 
  away 
  of 
  the 
  woody 
  tissues 
  

   immediately 
  beneath 
  it.

   Greene

  April 
  and 
  June. 
  

  

  The 
  spores 
  in 
  this 
  species 
  are 
  .0011/-.0015' 
  in 
  length, 
  

   exclusive 
  of 
  the 
  long 
  bristles 
  at 
  the 
  extremities. 
  There 
  are 
  

   generally 
  four 
  central 
  colored 
  cells.

  Externally 
  this 
  species 
  closely 
  resembles 
  the 
  preceding, 
  

   but 
  the 
  spores 
  are 
  smaller, 
  being 
  .001/ 
  long, 
  and 
  have 
  no 
  

   bristle 
  at 
  the 
  base. 
  There 
  are 
  usually 
  four 
  central 
  colored 
  

   cells. 
  I 
  cannot 
  distinguish 
  the 
  spores 
  of 
  this 
  from 
  those 
  of 
  

   P. 
  concentrica 
  B. 
  & 
  i?., 
  from 
  which, 
  therefore, 
  it 
  differs 
  

   only 
  in 
  habit 
  and 
  habitat, 
  and 
  to 
  which 
  it 
  ought 
  perhaps 
  to 
  

   be 
  united.
