4. Poria griseoalba (Peck) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 6: 306. 1888 



Polyporus griseoalbus Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 38 : 

 91. 1885. 



Described as follows from specimens collected by Peck at 

 Osceola, New York, in July : 



" Effused, thin, tender, adnate, uneven, scarcely margined, inde- 

 terminate, grayish-white, with a thin pulverulent subiculum; 

 pores very minute, subrotund, often oblique. 



" The pores are sometimes collected in little heaps or tubercles 

 as in P. molluscus and P. Vaillantii. In the dried state they are 

 slightly tinged with creamy yellow." 



The single collection at Albany is said to be rather scant, with 

 extremely thin fructification. Overholts reports the spores to be 

 oblong or short-cylindric, sometimes curved, often pointed at the 

 base, 4-5 X 1-2 I have not had an opportunity to study the 

 types.
