“Peridium composed of a single homogeneous, but layered 
membrane which is at first continuous over the mouth much as 
in Crucibuluni; sporangioles very numerous, at first immersed 
in a glutinous substance, very closely packed, entirely filling the 
central cavity and in no way attached to the peridium wall; no 
filaments intermixed with the spores/’

Porodiscus Murrill n. g. Polyporaceae. Bulletin of the Tor- 
rey Botanical Club, 30:432. Aug. 1903. 
“Hymenophore small, annual, tough, epixylous, erumpent 
from the lenticels of dead branches; stipe attached to the vertex 
of the pileus, usually curvey at maturity; context white, fibrous, 
tubes, cylindrical, short, one-layered, mouths constricted; spores 
globose, smooth, hyaline. 
“The type of this genus is Poly poms pocula (Schw.) Berk. 
& Curt., first described by Schweinitz as Peziza pendula and 
later as Ephaeria pocula. By Fries it was first assifined to the 
genus Cyphella and later formed the basis of the new Friesian 
genus Enslinia, which name, however, was preoccupied by 
Enslinia Rchb. The fruit body matures slowly and resembles a 
discomycete in its early stages, hence the confusion in regard to 
its systematic position. The name I have chosen for the genus 
refers to this resemblance. There is only one species known.”
