elliptical, subelliptical, globose, subglobose, oboval, clavate, subcylimlrical, fusi- 
form, oblong, needle-sliapeil or aausage-sliaped ; smooth; basidia with 2-4 sterig- 
mata, sometimes accompanied bv cystidioles. Cystidia hyaline, rarely coloured, 
fusiform, oboval, elliptical, subglobose, subulate, conical, acicular, filiform, 
cylindrical, clavate or capitate, sometimes septate, and with clamp connections, 
smooth or incrusted with crystalline granules, generally thick-walled, sometimes 
thin-walled and then projecting, not immersed in the tissue. Growing on wood, 
more rarely on leaves or on the ground. ’ ’ — Rea. 
417. Peniophora cinerea (Pers.) Cooke. (Syns., Corticium cinerewn Pers. ; 
Knciffia cinerea (Pr.) Bresad.; Corticium fumigatum de Thiim. ; Thelephora 
Wacina Schw. ; Feniophora- lilacina (Bch.) Mass.) (L., cinereus, of an ash- 
colour). — “Fructifications 2 to 5 x 0.5 to 1 cm., when scattered 2 to 5 mm. in 
diameter, effused, closely adnate, very thin, in small patches becoming confluent, 
lurid, ashy in various shades as pale drab-grey, pale mouse-gi’ey and cinnamon- 
drab, pruinose, waxy, becoming cracked in <lrying; in section 50 to 100 g thick 
usually, brownish, darker and opaque near the substratum, the hyphae densely 
interwoven, I! g in diameter, somewhat c(doured ; cystidia incrusted, 25 to 40 x 
4.5 to 9 fi, distributed throughout the se<‘tion ; spores hyaline, even, cvlindric, 
0 to 9 X 2 to 5 fJ., borne 4 to a basidium. On fallen limbs of frondose and 
coniferous species. Probably cosmopolitan.’’ — Burt. 
Burt states that it may be recognised by its resemblance to a thin coat of 
ashy grey or slightly tinted paint on the bark of fallen limbs; with a hand-lens 
the substance in sections is brownish. 
Xew Boutli Wales — xA specimen from Milson Island, Ilawkesbury River, April, 
1915, has been identified by Prof. E. A. Burt. FrUictifications as irregular 
patches, 4 x 0.5 cm. in size, very thin, like a slight coat of paint, near Pale 
Bmoke Gray (XLVI.), tending to crack, margin a little indefinite. 
41S. Peniophora violaceo-livida (Sommf.) Bresmhda. (L., violaceus, violet; 
lividun, dusky, livid). — ‘‘Fructifications 1 to 4 x 0.5 to 2 cm., often with the 
component masses rounded, 5 to 7 mm. in diameter, somewhat effused, closely 
adnate, rather thick, tubercular, pale mouse-gray to drab gray, often round ; in 
section brownish, 100 to 300 g. thick, becoming zonate within, darker and 0 |)aque 
next the substratum, the hyphae somewhat coloured, densely arranged, erect ; 
cystidia incrusted, 20 to 30 x 0 to 9 fi, distributed in all regions, very numerous; 
spores hyaline, even, curved, (i to 9 x 2.5 to 4 g. On fallen limbs. ’ ’ — Burt.

419. Peniophora montana Bint. (E., montanus, from the type having been 
found in a mountainous area) . — ‘ ‘ Fructifications effused, thin, adnate, tender, 
whitish to ivory-yellow, widely cracked in di'ying and showing the loose subiculum 
on the sides of the crevices, the margin thinning out, somewhat floccose ; in 
section 20(1 to 225 g thick, not coloured, conqxised of loosely interwoven, thin- 
walled, hyaline hyphae 4 to 5 fj. in diameter, not incrusted, not nodose-septate, of 
irregular outline; no gloeocvstidia ; cystidia hair-like, not incrusted, conical, 
tapering to a sharp apex, (i to 9 g in diameter at the base, protruding up to 40 /r; 
spores hyaline, even, cylindric, slightly curved, 12 to 14 x 4 to 5 g.’’ — Burt. 
A specimen from Mount Remarkable, ^August, 1927, has been identified by 
Prof. E. xA. Burt. The fructification, 11 x 3 cm. in extent, covers in rather a 
patchy fashion the inequalities of a fibrous bark, evidently from an Eucalvpt. 
It is thin, adnate. Pale Pinkish Buff to Pinkish Buff (xxix.), tending to crack 
a little in places, witli a few small nodosities due to the substratum, the edge 
rather indefinite and witli a lens subfloccose. Spores hyaline, elliptical, 13 to 15 
X 5.5 to 7 fjL. Another specimen is on ohl wood. Also Fliinlers Range, near 
Quorn, xAugust, 1921 (spores 13 to l(i x (i.5 to 8 g).

Tomentella sulphurina Karst.; Ilypoohnug sulphurinus (Karst.) Sacc.). (L., 
gulphurinug, for smlphtireug, colour of sulphur). — “Fructifications effused, 2 to 
6 cm. long, 1 to 2 cm. broad, adnate, the hymenium drying clay colour, thin, 
brittle, even, here and there cracked and showing the mustard-yellow subiculum, 
the margin fibrillose-byssoid, mustard-yellow; in section 150 to 400 g thick, pale 
yellow, with the hyphae loosely arranged, thin-walled, 4 to 6 m in diameter, 
occasionally nodose-septate, some hyphae granule-incrusted ; cystidia hair-like, 
not incrusted, 3 to 6 fi in diameter, protruding u() to 30 y, not numerous; spores 
hyaline, even, 3 to 4 x 2 to 2.5 y.” — Burt. Europe. North xAmerica.
