MURRILL: POLYPORES OF TEMPERATE NORTH AMERICA 11 



Grifola Berkeleyi (Fries) Murrill 



Strange as it may seem, this oak-loving species grows on coni- 

 fers in the west, attacking the roots of Abies and even occurring 

 on dead fir wood. Dr. Weir has sent me specimens from Idaho 

 and I have recently received a collection from Corvallis, Oregon, 

 found by Mr. C. E. Owens at the base of a living Abies grandis 

 on October 28. The surface of the western specimens is quite 

 reticulate, but they do not appear to be specifically distinct. 



Grifola fractipes (Berk. & Curt.) Murrill 



This was changed to Grifola Peckiana (Cooke) Murrill in 

 " Northern Polypores." Polyporus fractipes Berk. & Curt., de- 

 scribed from South Carolina, appears to be a different thing, 

 closely related to P. humilis Peck. 



Aurantiporus Pilotae (Schw.) Murrill 



Change to Aurantiporus croceus (Pers.) Murrill (Polyporus 

 croceus Pers. Obs. Myc. r: 87. 1796). Polyporus Pini-cana- 

 densis Schw. can hardly be a synonym of this species. 



Laetiporus speciosus (Batt.) Murrill 



Change to Laetiporus sulphureus (Bull.) Murrill (Boletus sul- 

 phureus Bull. Herb. Fr. pi. 429. 1788). It has been decided 

 that Battarra was a non-binomial author, although some of his 

 names happened to be binomial in form. 



Funalia villosa (Sw.) Murrill 



Change to Funalia versatilis (Berk.) Murrill. Boletus villosus 

 Sw. is Coriolus pinsitus (Fries) Pat., but Swartz's name cannot 

 be used because B. villosus Huds. is prior. 



Funalia stuppea (Berk.) Murrill 



According to specimens from Bresadola, Trametes hispida 

 Bagl. and Trametes Trogii subresupinata are not distinct. Ac- 

 cording to Maire, the name Trametes extenuata (Mont.) Pat. is 

 to be preferred. Roumeguere calls the same plant Trametes 

 hexagonoides Fries.
