SPORES COLORED, TRUNCATE.
Fig. 705.
Polyporus Oerstedii.
POLYPORUS LIONNETIL Pileus covered with agglutinate wrinkles. No
specimens seen, but species evidently based on the surface characters as shown on
Bull. Myc. Soc. 1901, plate 8. It was from Mexico.
POLYPORUS MULTIPLICATUS (Fig. 706). Pileus marked with narrow,
concentric raised zones, dark, laccatc. Context dark. The type at Paris is from
South America, but we have seen specimens from Tahiti and New Guinea, and have
specimens from United States and Egypt that have the same characters. We have
seen but one collection from the United States, viz., from F. J. Braendle, Washington,
D. C.
POLYPORUS RESINACEUS. Pileus strongly laccate, context pale. This is
very much the same as sessile lucidus, though we do not think Polyporus lucidus is
normally ever sessile. It occurs in Europe and the United States. The original was
on frondose wood, and the spores were recorded as smooth.
Compare affinis, Martellii, Sequoiae, also Femes variegatus.
POLYPORUS TUBERCULOSUS. Same as above, excepting a large, tropical
form. It is quite large, two or more feet. We think it is only a large, subsessile
tropical form of Polyporus lucidus.
POLYPORUS SESSILIS. As usually applied it is the same as resinaceus.
We have, however, in the United States, an annual, sessile species which we have
found on willow. The surface is not so dark, nor strongly laccate, as the preceding
plant, and it is broadly attached, never any intimation of a stipe. This we call
Polyporus sessilis. We have also a collection with a dull reddish surface that we also
here refer with doubt.
