LIGHT-COLORED RESUPINATE 

 POLYPORES— II 



William A. Murrill 



Continuing the series of articles begun in Mycologia for March, 

 1920, descriptions and notes are here given of a number of re- 

 supinate polypores found mostly in the mycological herbarium of 

 the New York Botanical Garden. 



28. Poria rimosa Murrill, Mycologia 12: 91. 1920 



This species was described from an unnumbered packet of spec- 

 imens collected on Juniperus monosperma in New Mexico, Oc- 

 tober 23, 191 1, by Hedgcock and Long. I have recently come 

 across other packets of the same thing carefully laid away under 

 a manuscript name assigned, I believe, by Mr. Long. I regret 

 that I did not have this name at hand to use in publishing the 

 species. One packet bears the same data as the type of P. rimosa, 

 with the statement that the fungus follows the rot caused by 

 Fomes texanus. Another specimen was collected on Juniperus 

 sabinioides near Austin, Texas, November 16, 191 1, W. H. Long 

 12024. It also followed rot caused by Fomes texanus. A third 

 specimen was collected by Mr. Long on dead fallen logs of Juni- 

 perus at Cache, Oklahoma, September 29, 1912; while a fourth, 

 numbered o8yo, was obtained by Long and Hedgcock from a 

 stump of Juniperus monosperma in New Mexico. The hymenium 

 of these additional specimens is not nearly so closely rimose as in 

 the type and the tubes are considerably longer.
