Dodge—Fungi from the Region of Kewaunee Co., Wis. 827 
edibility of the species was carefully tested. The flesh is solid, free 
from larvae and of excellent flavor when broiled or fried. Old plants 
are dry and spongy and would not be gathered for food. The annulus 
was not white in any of the specimens seen. Madison. 
Boletus versipellis Fr. The constant characters of this species as 
we find it which serve to distinguish it from B. scaler are the bright 
rusty-orange color of the pileus, the appendiculate margin of the same 
color as the pileus, the quick change of color of the flesh to a “cop¬ 
pery-red” or purple, the more coarsely roughened stipe, the dark points 
often arranged in reticulations, and the lighter colored and smaller 
spores. The pores may be either yellowish or white in young forms. 
The stipe becomes greenish or purple after being broken, finally be¬ 
coming blackish. In young forms the pileus is scarcely broader than 
the stipe when the latter is full grown at this period. E. Michael,

fig. 666, Ric-hon, Atlas Champ., PI. 54, fig'c. 4> 5, 7, are all good illus¬ 
trations of these forms. Common under beech and alder, Ihlenfeld’s 
woods, July to September, Algoma.

pine and hemlock, Schmeiling”s woods, September, Algoma. 
POLYPORACEAE. 
Polyporus adustus (Willd.) Fr. •[ Bjerkandera adusta (Willd.) 
Karst.] Common on old logs and stumps, September, Kohlberg. 
Polyporus arcularius (Batsch.) Fr. On old limbs, Shaw’s woods, 
Foscora. Rare. 
Polyporus betulinus Fr. •[ Piptoporus suberosus (L.) M.] Com¬ 
mon on birch stubs, Devine’s woods, August, Algoma. 
Polyorus borealis Fr. [ Spongipellis borealis (Fr.) Pat.] On logs, 
Detjen’s woods, May, Algoma. Rare. 
Polyporus brumalis (Pers.) Fr. •[Polyporus polyporus (Retz.) M.] 
Common on old logs and sticks, Detjen’s, October, Algoma. 
Polyporus caesius (Schrad.) Fr. ■[ Tyromyces caesius (Schrad.) M.] 
Our forms are rather large for the species, frequently being 10-12 cm. 
broad. On logs, Heuer’s woods, September, Algoma. 
Polyporus chioneus Fr. •[Tyromyces chioneus (Fr.) Karst.] On 
dead maple, Schmeiling’s woods, August, Algoma. Common. 
Polyporus circinatus Fr. Sections of several specimens of fungi 
originally identified as P. tcmentosus showed the duplex character as¬ 
cribed to P. circinatus. Lloyd, Myc. Notes, p. 30, fig. 198, finds that 
there is a distinct difference, and that the two species differ, as Fries 
maintained. The color of the pileus in our forms varied from light
