The name jugglers will have to invent a new genus for this 
plant for it belongs to none of their “established genera". It is 
analagous to l 'Phellodon“ but the stipes are not “mesopodous". 
LENZITES ALBOLUTEA, FROM DR. CH„ BERNARD, JAVA (Fig.1502) 
P ileus surface white (or a little greyish) smooth, hard, polished. 
Context pure white, soft, stuppeus* Gills yellowish, contrasting 
with the white context, thin, close, rigid, somewhat daedalcid, 
Hymenial surface pubescent with projecting hyphae, not specialized. 
Spores and basidia not found by me. 
The contrast of white context and yellowish gills is found 
also in Lenzites Bechleri (Myc. Notes, page SOB) which differs in 
having broad, distant gills as does Lenzites nivea or platyphylla 
as it has been called from Java. The latter on account of the thin 
context and distinct gills hardly suggests the plant. 
P0LYP0RUS ELATINUS; PROM DR. CH. BERNARD, JAVA (Fig.1503 \~ 
Lower, the type at Kew, upper specimens from Dr. Bernard. ),- Re 
only Knew this species from our notes on the type at Kew and our 
description given on page 295 of Apus Polyporus. Dr, Bernard’s 
specimens agree in characters, in every character excepting the 
shape and spores. The shape may have been caused by these speci¬ 
mens growing on the under side of the host, and as to spores, while 
we do not find the large, 6-7 mic. spores of the type, there ore 
abundant, small, globose, hyaline spores, about 4 mic. and the 
same as we found in the type. The features of the species are the 
reddish brown color of the surface, the white context and pore 
tissue and dark pore mouths. If this is not exactly the same as 
Berkeley named from India, it is very close. 
MUTINUS SIMPLEX, FROM MISS A. V. DUTHIE, SOUTH AFRICA (Fig. 
1504).- It is difficult to point our characters to distinguish the 
species of Mutinus, but there are two types. In one the gleba¬ 
be aring portion is strongly distinct from the stem and the cells 
much smaller. In the other section the gleba portion is not dis¬ 
tinct and the cells uniform in size, Mutinus simplex belongs to the 
1-iter section, and the only other Known species is Mutinus elegens 
of the United states, which is of a different shape as shown in our 
Fig.24, Phalloid Synopsis, page 29. in addition the cells of the 
stem in Mutinus elegans are many of them open. In Mutinus simplex 
(Fig. 1504) they are all closed. There.were no color notes accom¬ 
panying the specimen which was sent in alcohol, but we presume it 
was red as all Known species are. Our figure will tell all the 
remainder of the story. 
PHALLOID EGGS 
Miss A. v. Duthie, South Africa, sends some phalloid eggs 
in alcohol which reached me in perfect condition. (Fig.1506). They 
are a Mutinus, probably Mutinus simplex, a mature specimen of which 
she also sends. The gleba of a young phalloid is cellular. 
cavities visible under a hand glass. Our figure (Fig. 1505 enlarged 
sixfold) will show them. The basidia are readily seen under
