Lentinus pulverulentus, Fries, Epicr., p. 391 ; Cke., Hdbk., 

 p. 355; B. & Br., Ann. Nat. Hist., no. 1567. 



Agaricus pulverulentus. Scop., Carn., p. 434. 



On trunks. Caespitose. 



An uncertain species, not seen by Fries. Eecorded for 

 Britain by Berkeley and Broome, but judging from their 

 notes, given below, it appears doubtful whether they had 

 the right species in view. 



Tufted, at first infundibuliform, then lateral flabelliform, 

 fuliginous, floccoso-pulverulent, with little umber particles ; 

 stem elongated, at length smooth ; gills pallid, deeply 

 decurrent, their edge crenulate, but not torn ; pileus 2 in. ; 

 stem 3 in. high. (B. & Br.) 



Lentinus resinaceus. Fr. 



Pileus 1-2 in. across, rather fleshy, tough, excentric, 

 convex then depressed or infundibuliform, margin involute 

 and variously waved, downy, somewhat glandular and 

 covered with a resinous gum, ochraoeous-cinnamon ; gills 

 adnato-decurrent, crowded, very narrow at first, fold-like, 

 connected by veins, at length l-^l^ line broad, white, margin 

 serrate ; stem solid, firm, scarcely 1 in. long, unequal, ex- 

 panding into the pileus, even, somewhat downy, pallid.
