Bodge—Fungi from the Region of Kewaunee Co., Wis. 829 
- Polyporus picipcs Fr. [Polypoms fissus (Berk.) M.J. The pileus 
varies from 2 cm. to 20 cm. broad and from 0.5 mm. to 10 mm. in 
thickness at the center. The chestnut color of the pileus with the 
blackish center, and the hard, brittle flesh of dry specimens’ are con¬ 
stant characters. On logs, Krohn’s Lake and Belgian settlement, July 
and August, Algoma. 
Polyporus resinosus (Schw.) Fr. [Fames annosus (Fr.) Cooke]. 
A thin, non-resinous liquid is usually found hanging in drops from the 
pore surface of growing specimens. Such animals as mice and rabbits 
will eat plants remaining on stumps during the winter. They are too 
tough to eat even when well cooked. Common. On logs and stumps, 
Blahnik’s woods, July to September, Algoma. 
Polyporus Spraguei B. & C. [ Tyromyces Spraguei (B. & C.) M.] 
On decayed logs, Krohn’s Lake, September, Algoma. Murrill vid. 
Polyporus squamosus Fr. [Polyporus caudicinus (Scop.) M.]. 
One centrally stiped plant was collected from the top of a maple stump, 
Blahnik’s grove, July, Algoma. 
Polyporus subradicatus Murrill. The stipe is about 8 cm. long 
and only 4-6 mm. thick, otherwise the description given by Murrill, 
N. Am. FL, 9:63, applies well to this form. On the ground near a 
log, Otto’s woods, July, Algoma. Murrill vid. 
Polyporus sulphureus Fr. [Laetiporus speciosus (Batt.) M.]. 
Common. On logs, stumps, and on the ground, growing from buried 
sticks. < July to September, Algoma. 
Polyporus tomento'sus Fr. [Coltricia tomentosa (Fr.) M.]. Simi¬ 
lar to those identified as P. circinatus except that the flesh of the pileus 
is not duplex. The whole plant is dark ferruginous. On the ground 
among pine needles, Shaw’s woods, September, Algoma. 
Polyporus umbtell'atus (Pers.) Fr. [Grifola ramosissima (Scop.) 
M.]. Rare. Detjen’s woods, September, Algoma. Neumann vid. 
Polyporus varius Fr. Gillet, Champ. France, Bolton, Hist. Fung., 
PI. 83, 168, Grev., Scot. Crypt., 202, represent these forms. The pileus 
is frequently 10 cm. broad with flesh 1-2 cm. thick, variously deformed 
and doubled. On logs, June, Blue Mounds; Heuer’s woods, October, 
Algoma. 
Polyporus sp. Pileus 5 cm. broad, deeply umbilicate, light drab, 
slightly squamulose, the margin strongly inrolled; flesh 1 mm. thick, 
white, fragile; tubes hexagonal elongated radiately, 1 x 1.5-2 mm. across 
and about 3 ,mm. long, decurrent; stipe central, brownish, 0.5 x 10 cm., 
rough tomentose toward the base; spores white, hyaline, smooth, ovoid, 
5x6 microns. Peck refers the specimen somewhat doubtfully to P. 
lentus Berk. Although the plant was fully developed, few spores were 
obtained, and these differed materially from the spores of P. arcularius 
Schw. On the ground, growing from buried wood. June, Blue Mounds.
