Folyporus {Resupinati) calceus B. & Br., Fungi of 
Ceylon, 506. 
Not found recently. Before examination with a 
lens it appears to be a Corticium. The specimens 
are now pale yellow to pale ochraceous, with a broad, 
white, powdery margin. The pores are subhexagonal, 
up to 0*2 mm. diameter, and 0* 1 mm. deep, with thin 
dissepiments which here and there consist of separate 
erect fascicles of hyphæ. The subiculum is white, 
about O' 1 mm. thick. 
Poria variolosa B. & Br. 
4013, Hakgala, April, 1914. 
The type specimen, Thwaites 650, is young and 
undeveloped ; it has broad shallow hexagonal pores, up 
to 0*75 mm. diameter. Specimens recently collected 
have more fully developed pores. 
This species begins at different points as small 
circular patches which ultimately fuse. The ultimate 
sheets have, therefore, a much-lobed and irregular 
outline, and are frequently perforated with large 
angular holes, where the fusion has not been completed . 
The hyménium is cream-coloured or yellowish. The 
pores, are at first hexagonal, large, up to 1 mm. 
diameter and 2 mm. deep, with thin dissepiments, but 
in the older parts long parallel linear pores are formed, 
involving several of the original hexagonal pores. The 
basal layer is very thin, but tough and flexible, and 
the whole fungus can be peeled away from the sub- 
stratum. The lower surface is olive, minutely tomen- 
tose, with the individual points of origin clearly marked 
and often concentrically zoned round them.
