EXPLANATION OF PLATE LXXXII. 
Fig. 1. Hirneola auricula Judae. Large specimen from dead oak, rich, 
brownish color, showing the upper surface, with faint wave-like 
folds which become more prominent upon drying. 
Fig. 2. Cluster of form described as Aur. var.? This was found to be 
very numerous on dead branches of oak and was much thicker 
in proportion to size than fig. 1, and was rich deep wine color. 
Fig. 3-4. Tachaphantium Bref. fig. 3 side view showing the elevation 
of fungus above substratum, and fig. 4 view of upper surface 
showing the form of the fungus. The figure of course does not 
bring out the clear glistening surface of this beautiful little 
fungus. 
Fig. 5-6 show typical forms of Ex. glandulosa the first being on poplar 
where it spreads out quite considerably and the second on oak 
where it is much more compact. It is impossible to bring out 
the minute papillae which project in large numbers from the 
upper surface. 
Fig. 7. A young and very small specimen of Ex. albida. The fungus 
grows in height and at the same time spreads out to cover large 
portions of the dead stems of basswood. 
Fig. 8. Tr. lutescens. Not a perfect specimen in that it does not show 
the two types of folds so common to this form. 
Figs. 9-10. Tr. mesentertca. The first being a very compact form grow¬ 
ing from a break in oak bark while the other shows a more 
spreading type. 
Fig. 11. Tr. foliacea. Small forms of this fungus found on stem of 
alder. Does not show the foliaceous nature described by many 
observers. 
Fig. 12. Tr. frondosa. A brownish form found on dead elm, quite 
fleshy and soft as compared with the more firm and erect spec¬ 
imens of fig. 14. A very small specimen. 
Fig. 13. Tr. -frondosa. A form characterized by the very thin folds. 
This was quite firm and changed only slightly upon drying. It 
was wine colored and the surface was not glistening as in the 
form just described. 
Fig. 14. Tr. frondosa. Reduced three-fourths. The right lower portion 
was exposed by removing the bark of the oak upon which it 
grew and was a very dark brown and shows the compressed 
folds while the left upper portion shows the fully developed 
fungus which- was of a beautiful glistening brown, with a tinge 
of wine color in the lower portion. 
Fig. 15. Tr. sp.? A specimen of a beautiful form which in earlier 
stages and when fully moistened is rich creamy white, but 
changes to a beautiful yellow, darker at the base and gradually 
becoming paler toward the outer edge.
