GENUS PANUS (Sz Prate Facine Pace 145) 
The members of this genus are leathery plants, with the 
stems lateral or wanting. The gills are simple, not forked, and 
the spores are white. Panus stypticus is common on rotten 
wood, and gives out a weird, phosphorescent light. 
The species of the genus Panus so much resemble species 
of the genus Lentinus, which do not have toothed margins, that 
Panus and Lentinus are considered by some as one genus, with 
the name Leniinus. 
GENUS TROGIA 
But one American species is reported; this is small and 
leathery, brownish in colour, with the spore-bearing surface 
white. The lamelle are obtuse on their edges, and are not hairy. 
The spores are white. This plant is common on fallen branches 
of the alder. 
GENUS SCHIZOPHYLLUM 
The members of this genus have white spores and a leathery 
pileus, with the lamelle hairy and grooved, or split. Schizo- 
phyllum commune is common on twigs or branches. It varies 
from % to 2 inches across, appearing as fluted shells on the 
bark.
