Subject: Identity of Fungus, per your memo dated June 14, 1964 



The fungus that you recently sent to us as No. 45593^ collected in 

 deciduous voods on Great North Mountain, has been examined and 

 identified by Mr. J. A. Stevenson, who found it to be Polypoins 

 uxobe.l Tatus Pers. ex Fr. The family name is Polyporaceae . Hiis 

 particular species of polypore is a fleshy type and vas partly 

 decomposed when received. Unfortunately therefore, it had to be 

 discarded.
