ground for some time, it will often be found that the 
normally straight edges of the pores are lacerated, and 
frequently bear irregular horizontal teeth.

I do not know the correct name of this species, and 
have left it under the name assigned by Berkeley and 
Broome to the draAving of it. It is a common species 
at Peradeniya and grows in large troops. 
Flabelliform, frequently lobed, up to 8 X 5 cm. ; 
stalk usually short, almost absent ; white, tomentose 
behind, glabrous in front, radialty streaked when moist ; 
texture tough, lentinoid ; flesh white, thin, about 1 mm. 
thick. Pore layer about 2 mm. thick ; pores decurrent 
to the base of the stalk, hexagonal, radially elongated, 
up to 2 mm. long, 0*5 mm. broad, edges regular. 
Spores white, narroAV-oval, 6-8 X 3 [jl. 
Thwaites’ figure is good. In wet weather it is soft 
but tough, and dries somewhat translucent, especially 
towards the margin ; in drier weather it is firmer, and 
dries pale brown. Though appearing readily putres- 
cent, it dries and revives, new groAvth occurring along 
the edges of the pores, so that they become lacerated. 
It has a somewhat fishA^ smell Avhen fresh.
