Auricularia ornata Pers. is considered by Schumann and Lau- 

 terbach in their enumeration of Guam fungi as a synonym of 

 Auricularia auricula-judae (L.) Schroet., together with Auricu- 

 laria ampla Pers., also described from Guam material. Their 

 opinion will, however, hardly be accepted. 



A fungus of very general tropical and subtropical distribution, 

 in both eastern and western hemispheres.

This fungus has been collected in India, the Moluccas, Philip- 

 pines, Japan, and in Guiana. It, in all probability, will prove of 

 very general tropical distribution when better known.
