NOTE 911 - SCHIZOPHYLLUM COMMUNE FROM D. W. WEIS, MASSACHU¬ 
SETTS: With pink gills. The pink gills are very unusual. I do not 
remember ever noting them before. Probably not abnormal but an 
unusual color form. I thought at first due to a young Hypomyces but 
a section shows no evidence of a parasite, 
WEST, ERDMAN, NEW JERSEY:: Irpex lacteus.

NOTE 913 - POLYSTICTUS OCHRACEUS FROM DR, M, S. WHETSTONE, 
MINNESOTA: This is a rare species both in Europe and the United 
States. It was named by Persoon and referred to Polystictus zonatus 
by Fries, from which it differs entirely. The surface hairs are 
very soft and silky and the ( unzoned ) color is about chamois of 
Ridgway. 
NOTE 913 - POLYPORUS VARIUS FROM DR. M. S. WHETSTONE, 
MINNESOTA: This is quite close to our common Polyporus picipes but 
is paler color and has longer pores. It is frequent in Sweden, rare 
with us. The pores of this specimen are 3-4 mm. long and are the 
feature that attracted my notice at once. They are short, not over 
2 mm, in picipes. The spores, abundant in this specimen, are 3 X 10 
cylindrical, straight.

United States and Europe and has quite a reputation as an edible
