No. 3.] HYMENIALES OF CONNECTICUT. 6l 



Favolus canadensis Klotz. 



= Hexagona alveolaris (D. & C.) Murrill. 



Goshen, Underwood; New Haven, Clinton; Mansfield, 

 July (119). 



CYCLOMYCES Kunz & Fr. 



kvkXoq, a circle : fiwrjc, fungus. 



The characters of this genus are distinct from other Poly- 

 poracese. The cap is fleshy, leathery, or membranaceous, and 

 upon the lower surface are the plate-like bodies which re- 

 semble the gills of Agaricaces, but which are composed of 

 minute pores. These pore-bodies are borne in concentric cir- 

 cles, giving the lower surface a peculiar appearance. C. 

 Greenii is the only species reported, and this is not uncommon 

 in Connecticut. 



Cyclomyces Greenii Berk. 



= Cycloporus Greenii (Berk.) Murrill. 



Goshen, Underwood; Mansfield, July (270). 



GLCEOPORUS Mont. 



yXoioc, gluten ; vopog, pore. 



The plants of this genus have a leathery or woody cap 

 and a trembling, gelatinous, spore-bearing surface which is 

 somewhat elastic. The pores are round. 



Gloeoporus conchoides Mont, (shell-like). 

 East Hartford, Hanmcr. 



TRAMETES Fr. 



Trama; the generic distinction depending on the trama. 



The characteristic difference between Tramctcs and other 

 genera in this family is the unequal depth of the tubes, or 

 pores, which are sunken into the flesh of the cap. It differs 

 from Dadalca by having the pores more distinct and not ar- 

 ranged in serpentine lines. The plants grow on wood, and 

 are woody or corky in texture, becoming hard with age. 



Trametes cinnabarina (Jacq.) Fr. (having the color of 

 dragon's-blood).
