Fungi with Pores—Polyporacez 
Lenzites sepiria 
Leathery shells, with the upper surface marked with rough 
zones of various shades of brown: the under surface with brown, 
radiating, papery gills. 
GENUS D/EDALEA 
The genus Dedalea has the spore-bearing surface in the 
form of winding and labyrinthine lamella, so that instead of 
pores there are irregular branching slits on the under surface. 
These fungi are normally sessile, woody, and hard. 
Deedalea unicolor 
Dedalea unicolor is in form like a full leather ruffle with 
scalloped edge, so full that the scallops overlap. The branching 
slits are very minute, and the upper side is in zones of tan colour, 
with a plush-like surface. The zones are often tinged with blue 
or green from alge which grow upon them. 
Deedalea confragosa 
Dedalea confragosa has a rough grey upper surface, and 
grows from the centre in the form of depressed sessile caps. 
The texture is firm and leathery. fi 
Dzedalea quercina 
Dedalea quercina is a woody or corky species, rugged, and 
without zones on the surface. At first it is porous ; then, by 
the breaking down of the walls of the pores, slits are formed, 
with blunt partitions. It is common on oak trees.
