indistinct); fleslvy; margin deeply sulcate, with the interstices darker, 

 which gives the pileus a very neat appearance; stem about three 

 quarters of an inch high, one and a half lines thick, often slightly at- 

 tenuated downward, solid, of the same color as the pileus furfuraceous. 

 sometimes confluent; ^ills distant, broad, subventricose, emarginate 

 behind, very slightly annexed, pallid, rather thick, indistinctly toothed. 

 Allied to L. scleropus, etc. 



Pands dealbatus, n. sp. — On a dry dead branch. Waynesville, 

 Aug. 26, 1844. 



Pileo coriaceo-molli, flabelliformi, umbrino, striato ; stipiteque 

 laterali, longiusculo, compresso, vel canaliculato, sursum dilatato, 

 strato albo, subtiliter rimoso vestitis ; lamellis decurrentibus, distinct- 

 is, umbrinis. 



Pileus three quarters of an inch broad, flabelliform sometimes lobed ; 

 when moist tough and pliable, umbro-brown, striate ; when dry, white 

 and minutely cracked, as if whitewashed, with a dark border ; stem 

 quarter of an inch or more high, dilated upwards, compressed and 

 often canaliculate, perfect^ lateral, of the same color and texture as 

 the pileus ; gills narrow, umber brown, distinct, without an}- veins in 

 the interstices, decurrent and clothed below with a white stratum ; 

 when dry, brown with a white edge. Allied to A. farinaceus, Schum., 

 but at once distinguished b} r its very decurrent gills. There are few 

 prettier fungi than this when dry. Sometimes the stem is forked, and 

 each division produces a distinct pileus. 



Panus angustatus, n. sp. — On a dead log. Waynesville, Sept. 10. 

 1844. 



Parvus, tenuis ; pileo spathulato, subtiliter pubescente, postice 

 angustato, farinaceo ; strato superiore gelatinoso ; stipite brevissimo ; 

 lamellis angustis, decurrentibus. 



Pileus about one inch long, coriaceo-submembranaceous, spathellate 

 or flabelliform, narrowed behind, white, dirty white or yellowish, most 

 minutely pubescent ; upper stratum gelatinous ; stem extremeh' short, 

 being in fact little more than a continuation of the pileus; gills very 

 narrow, close, decurrent, white, very minutel}* pubescent, yellowish 

 when dry. Somewhat resembling Panus copulatus. Mr. Lea de- 

 scribes it as tough when fresh, and it is therefore placed in the genus 

 Panus.
