Murrill: Polypores of Temperate North America 19 



species, which with us is usually greyish, but in Europe is white, but the 

 spores of the two species are entirely different, if I see them correctly. The 

 habitat also differs. When fresh the plant was probably slightly viscid as 

 Abies needles are adherent to the surface." 



heteromorpha. Daedalea heteromorpha Fries, Obs. Myc i : 

 108. 1815. Overholts thinks we have this or a closely related 

 species in America. He cites a specimen from Idaho with 

 hymenium partly lamellate and partly poroid and spores cylin- 

 dric, hyaline, 9-1 1 X3-4/*. Lloyd in Myc. Notes. 59, 1919, 

 gives several figures of this plant, practically all of which show 

 large, irregular pores like those of Coriolellus sepium, to which 

 species I have been referring the above forms. According to 

 Lloyd, his Trametes lacerata and Coriolellus sepium are both 

 practically the same as Daedalea heteromorpha. 



hispidellus. Scutiger hispidellus (Peck) Murrill, Western 

 Polypores 16. 191 5. It is quite distinct from Scutiger radi- 

 catus (Schw.) Murrill. I have recently received excellent 

 specimens from the state of Washington. According to Lloyd, 

 the species is not distinct from Polyporus hirtus Quel, of 

 Europe. In support of his opinion, I find the dried specimens 

 bitter, as described by Quelet ; and it has been my experience 

 that species occurring both in the northeastern United States 

 and in the extreme Northwest are rather apt to be found also 

 in Europe and around the world in northern regions. This 

 distribution, of course, dates back to land connections and a 

 different climate. 



Krekei. Trametes Krekei C. G. Lloyd, Letter No. 69: 12. 1919. 

 Type not seen. Compare Coriolellus serialis and Trametes 

 Morganii. 



" Pileate with narrow pileate development, but very long, decurrent pores. 

 Color pale reddish. Pores large, angular. Spores abundant, globose, 6 X 7- ft. 



" The receipt of this fine specimen which was unfamiliar to me led to the 

 study of the unnamed Trametes that have accumulated and the publication of 

 Trametes Morganii. It is very similar' to Morganii to the eye (but not the 

 same), but the spores are entirely different. Rev. Kreke collected it in Frank- 

 lin County, Indiana, and it must be rare, for I have no other specimen." 



Leei. Inonotus Leei Murrill, Western Polypores 21. 191 5. 

 Found on oak in California.
