Mycologia 



floriformis. Reported from America, but I have seen no 

 American specimens that match those from Europe. 



fractipes. Polyporus fractipes Berk. & Curt. Grevillea i : 38. 

 1872. Collected a few times in South Carolina and Louisiana. 

 Polyporus humilis Peck is closely related. 



fragilis. Spongipellis fragilis (Fries) Murrill, Southern Poly- 

 pores 61. 191 5. I have European specimens from Bresadola 

 and Karsten and American specimens collected by Atkinson at 

 Ithaca and in North Carolina, and by myself at Ohio Pyle, 

 Pennsylvania, and at Lake Placid, New York. Fungi Columb. 

 4749, collected at London, Canada, by Dearness, and distrib- 

 uted as P. mollis (Pers.) Fries is not distinct. Peck got it at 

 Pine Hill, New York, and called it P. Weinmanni Fries. Com- 

 pare Fries Icon. pi. 182, f. 2. My Spongipellis sensibilis, from 

 the West, is closely related. 



fumidiceps. Tyromyces fumidiceps Atk. Ann. Myc. 6: 61. 

 1908. Said to be near T. chioneus, but to have a darked pileus 

 and very different spores. 



gilvoides. Trametes gilvoides C. G. Lloyd, Myc. Notes 38 : 520. 

 /. 516. 1912. Collected by Lloyd on an oak branch in Florida 

 in January, 1897, and never seen elsewhere by him. I have 

 not seen the type, but it apparently belongs to Pogonomyces. 



" Entire plant gilvous brown, pileus subresttpinate, adnate, the surface of 

 the pileus covered with rigid, brown setae in the same manner as those of 

 Trametes hydnoides. Context gilvous brown. Hymenium with numerous 

 slender setae of the " Hymenochaete " type. Pores small, round, with glanc- 

 ing mouths. Spores globose, 2^/2 X 3 hyaline (or perhaps pale colored)." 



glomeratus. Polyporus glomeratus Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State 



Mus. 24: 78. 1873. Inonotus glomeratus (Peck) Murrill. 



Distinguished from Inonotus radiatus by its more resupinate 



habit and peculiar cystidia. 

 Grantii. Polyporus Grantii C. G. Lloyd, Myc. Notes 53: 763. 



/. 1147. 1918. Type not seen. 



" White, spathulate to a rooting base. Surface smooth, apparently a little 

 glutinose when fresh. Context white, hard. Pores minute, white. Spores 

 (if correctly seen) globose, 6-7 mic, minutely rough. 



" Based on a single half specimen (62) from J. M. Grant, Washington. It 

 grew on a log. At first I thought it was Polyporus osseus, one of our rare
