POLYSTICTUS Fr. 

 ttoXvc, many; (ttiktoc, punctate. 



In this genus, the cap is leathery, membranaceous, rather 

 spongy, and with a thin cuticle. The tubes run to an equal 

 depth in the substance of the cap ; this fact separates the genus 

 from Trametes, which it strongly resembles. The substance 

 of the cap is never fleshy or woody, and not stratose, thus 

 making it unlike Polyporus or Fomes. 



The pileus is usually zoned, frequently velvety, but may 

 be rough with stiff hairs. The stem may be central, lateral, 

 or absent. The plants are classed by the older writers with 

 Polyporus.
