  Fr, 
  

  

  Prof. 
  Atkinson 
  finds 
  this 
  rare 
  species 
  near 
  Ithaca. 
  

  

  Polyporus 
  Anax 
  Berk. 
  

   This 
  species 
  has 
  apparently 
  been 
  confused 
  by 
  some 
  American 
  

   mycologists 
  wnih. 
  Polyporus 
  intybaceus. 
  I 
  have 
  received 
  specimens 
  

   of 
  it 
  bearing 
  that 
  name. 
  The 
  spores 
  of 
  that 
  species 
  are 
  described 
  as 
  

   elliptic 
  or 
  ovoid. 
  The 
  spores 
  of 
  Polyporus 
  Anax, 
  as 
  shown 
  by 
  our 
  

   specimens, 
  are 
  globose.

  Atkinson. 
  The 
  typical 
  specimens 
  were 
  

   found 
  eight 
  years 
  ago, 
  growing 
  on 
  decaying 
  wood 
  of 
  sugar 
  maple. 
  

   No 
  others 
  except 
  the 
  Ithaca 
  specimens 
  have 
  come 
  to 
  my 
  notice 
  and 
  

   the 
  species 
  is 
  apparently 
  very 
  rare.

  T\yo 
  Specimens 
  of 
  this 
  fung'us 
  Avere 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  

   region 
  24 
  years 
  ago. 
  Since 
  then 
  a 
  single 
  specimen 
  was 
  sent 
  me 
  by 
  

   l^rof. 
  Dudley 
  who 
  found 
  it 
  near 
  Ithaca. 
  In 
  June 
  a 
  fine 
  large 
  cluster 
  

   of 
  this 
  extremely 
  rare 
  fungus 
  was 
  found 
  growing 
  on 
  decaying 
  wood 
  

   by 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  Lodge 
  road. 
  Some 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  

   had 
  the 
  pileus 
  4 
  or 
  5 
  in. 
  broad, 
  and 
  the 
  stem 
  3 
  or 
  4 
  ■ 
  in. 
  long 
  

   and 
  I 
  to 
  2 
  in. 
  thick. 
  The 
  stem 
  in 
  the 
  large 
  specimens 
  is 
  deeply 
  

   grooved 
  and 
  often 
  pinkish 
  tinted 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  but 
  it 
  loses 
  this 
  color 
  in 
  

   drying. 
  The 
  plants 
  emit 
  a 
  strong 
  unpleasant 
  odor 
  in 
  drying. 
  Tlie 
  

   species 
  is 
  well 
  marked 
  by 
  its 
  globose 
  spores 
  and 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  know 
  

   lias 
  not 
  yet 
  been 
  found 
  beyond 
  the 
  limits 
  of 
  our 
  state.
