REPORT OF STATE BOTANIST, 1 897 293, 
Pileus 2 to 4 in. broad; stem 3 to 4 in. long, 4 to 6 lines thick. 
Shaded banks by roadside. Raybrook. August. 
No young or immature specimens were seen and the description 
is to that extent incomplete. 
Poria setigera n. sp. 
Effused, tough, thin, adnate, the thin sterile byssine or tomentose 
margin whitish; pores minute, rotund, shallow, -J- to \ line wide, 
smoky brown, suffused with a grayish white pruinosity, the dissepi¬ 
ments entire, their edges and the sterile margin bearing smooth 
colored setae .003 to .005 in. long, .0005 to .0006 broad. 
Bark of red maple, Acer rubrum. Gansevoort. July. 
This fungus forms patches by confluence several inches in extent. 
The setae are external and do not appear to develop within the 
pores. Therefore the species is not a Mucronoporus. 
Trametes serialis Fr. 
Decaying wood of spruce. Adirondack mountains. September. 
Trametes serialis resupinata Ro7nell 
Resupinate, tough, adnate, white, 1 to 2 lines thick, composed 
mostly of the small equal round white pores, one eighth to one 
fifth line broad, the dissepiments obtuse, sometimes becoming sub¬ 
acute and dentate with age; subiculum thin, sterile margin at length 
almost wanting. 
Wood and bark of spruce. Adirondack mountains. 
This fungus usually forms continuous patches several inches in 
extent. On even decorticated surfaces it is generally even and 
regular in outline, but on uneven surfaces it is apt to be interrupted 
and irregular. It is allied to Trametes serpens but may be separated 
from it by its smaller and more regular pores and more obtuse 
dissepiments. 
Hydnum chrysocomum Underw. 
Much decayed sticks. New Dorp, Richmond county. October.
