349. Poria setuloso-crocea Clol. ct Rodw. (1,., setulosus, bearing small bristles; 
croceus, yellow, moi-e particularly a saffron yellow, in reference to the general 
colour). — Forming irregular closely adherent patches, up to 7 cm. x 1 cm., in the 
irregular interstices of bark and the surface of decaying wood, in colour paler 
than Old Gold (xvi.), near to but paler than Isabella Colour (xxx.). The very 
thin sterile mycelium before the pores form approximates to the same colour 
and is granular or villous looking, ddiiokness up to 1 to 1.5 cm., the tubes 
browner than the surface colour, context practically absent, resting on the 
mycelium-penetrated substratum. Pores very minute, a little irregular in size, 
about (i to 7 in 1 mm., dissepiments rounded, fipores fairly numerous, elliptical, 
one end more pointed than the other, 5.5 to (i x 3.7 p. Hyphae slightly but

byssoid, broad and obtuse. T'he tubes are 2 to 4 mm. long, the subiculum definite 
but thin. Idle orifices are irregular, vary in size, about .3 mm. in diameter, usually 
about 2 to 21 in 1 mm., sometimes broken into Irpex-like teeth. Hyphae definitely 
yellowish, usually about 4 /r in diameter, a little irregular, setae not seen. I'as- 
mania. July. 
Not yet recorded for South Australia. 
II. Hyphae yellowish-brown and hence the sulistance brown of various shades. 
A. Setae present and readily demonstrable.

in size, the thin dissepiments rounded. Hyphae yellow-brown, rather thick- 
walled, slightly wavy, 3.5 to 4 p, setae lirown, acuminate with blunt apices, about 
45 X 9 /r, not very numerous. Spores hyaline, probably 7 x 3.4 p. New South

(in our specimens) up to 12 x 4 cm. but usually less and about 1.5 mm. thick.
