Figure 76. — Sclerotium of Lentinus (Uu'tyloides Clel. (No. 581). Buried 
and attached to railway sleepers. Under favourable 
conditions the fruiting body with pileus and stem will 
develop from some part of the upper portion. The 
finger-like processes point downward. Halidon, on 
Alawo'ona line. Reduced to 
LENTINUS (Page 170). 
581. Lentinus dactyloides Clel. (Gr., dactyloides, like a finger, in reference to 
the sclerotium) — Pileus 14in. (3.7 cm.), convex, flattened or slightly depressed in 
the centre, edge inturned, covered with a fine matted tomentum, smooth when this 
is removed, cuticle thick, near Avellaneous (XL.). Gills adnate tending to secede, 
close, slightly undulate (probably not fully expanded), edges thin, entire, 2 min. 
deep, cream-coloured. Stem Ifin. (4.3 cm.), pn. (1.5 cm.) thick in centre, Jin.

Vinaceous Buff (XL.). Flesh white, tough, attenuated outwards in the pileus, 
3 mm. thick internally, rather fibrous in the stem. Sclerotia large, up to 7 x 7iii.
