  Report

  the 
  State 
  Museum. 
  

  

  This 
  singular 
  species 
  is 
  apparently 
  related 
  to 
  Stereum 
  abietinum 
  y 
  

   to 
  which 
  it 
  was 
  formerly 
  referred, 
  but 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  was 
  seen 
  to 
  

   be 
  distinct 
  when 
  the 
  spore 
  characters 
  of 
  that 
  species 
  were 
  

   published. 
  

  

  The 
  thick 
  interior 
  stratum 
  is 
  similar 
  in 
  color 
  to 
  the 
  hymenium 
  

   and 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  composed 
  of 
  densely 
  compacted 
  erect 
  fibrils. 
  

   The 
  hymenium, 
  under 
  a 
  lens, 
  is 
  seen 
  to 
  possess 
  both 
  setae 
  and 
  

   metuloids, 
  thus 
  combining 
  the 
  characters 
  of 
  the 
  genera 
  

   Hymen 
  ochaete 
  and 
  Peniophora, 
  and 
  obliterating 
  the 
  distinction 
  

   of 
  these 
  as 
  Dcedalea 
  confragosa, 
  in 
  its 
  various 
  forms, 
  destroys 
  the 
  

   distinction 
  between 
  Trametes 
  and 
  Lenzites. 
  Moreover 
  when 
  

   these 
  setae 
  and 
  metuloids 
  are 
  more 
  highly 
  magnified 
  they 
  are 
  

   found 
  to 
  vary 
  among 
  themselves, 
  being 
  sometimes 
  smooth 
  and 
  

   sometimes 
  warted, 
  acute 
  or 
  blunt, 
  colored 
  or 
  colorless, 
  and 
  some- 
  

   times 
  even 
  partly 
  colored 
  and 
  smooth 
  and 
  partly 
  colorless 
  and 
  

   warted. 
  

  

  Also 
  the 
  hymenium, 
  though 
  dry 
  and 
  firm 
  in 
  texture, 
  becomes 
  

   rimose 
  as 
  in 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  of 
  Corticium 
  with 
  a 
  soft 
  and 
  waxy 
  

   hymenium.

  This 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  form 
  scarcely 
  one 
  line 
  high. 
  The 
  scales 
  of 
  the 
  

   peridium 
  are 
  white, 
  the 
  few 
  large 
  spores 
  intermingled 
  with 
  those 
  

   of 
  the 
  prevailing 
  size 
  are 
  .0007 
  to 
  .0008 
  in. 
  broad, 
  and 
  the 
  

   slender 
  threads 
  of 
  the 
  capillitium 
  are 
  sometimes 
  furnished 
  with 
  

   thickenings 
  as 
  in 
  those 
  of 
  L. 
  tigrinum. 
  The 
  plants 
  grow 
  either 
  

   singly 
  or 
  in 
  groups 
  of 
  three 
  to 
  five.

  Our 
  specimens 
  differ 
  from 
  the 
  typical 
  form 
  in 
  growing 
  on 
  

   decorticated 
  branches 
  and 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  spores 
  slightly 
  broader.
