Stereum versicolor. Polystictus Friesii. Polystictus pinsitus. Polystictus
sanguinarius. Fomes australis. Fomes applanatus. Stereum (Section
Lloydiella?) unknown to me, but characterized by a rose color, which,
if I knew the foreign species of this genius, would distinguish it.
Fomes gilvus. Distinctly stratified, but surely only a fomes form of
Polyporus gilvus.
Polystictus, very close to versicolor. Lentinus, two species.
Polyporus connatus ( ? ) This is a tropical white plant that is a
typical Polyporus, both in texture and appearance. It has on the hymenium
the same (peculiar) cystidia as Fomes connatus of the temperate world. I
have seen specimens from Brazil referred to Fomes connatus, but while
some Polyporus species in the temperate world (as gilvus and lucidus) may
take occasionally perennial (stratified) form in the tropics, I doubt if the
reverse is true. I do not know if this plant has a distinctive name, but it
should have.
Lycoperdon piriforme. Geaster mammosus. A rare species.
CRADWICK, WM., Jamaica:
Stereum (Sp.).
CROSSLAND, CHAS., England (h) :
Polyporus caesius. When fresh and moist it turns blue when touched
and is then easily known, but the old specimens and dried specimens became
pale bluish gray. I never noticed any odor before and am sure the plant
has none when fresh, but on smelling the dried specimens in my collection, I
think I can detect the same odor in all. The spores ( 1-1 ^x 4-5) are the
same as those of Polyporus tephroleucus, but in this species, while the top
and pores are grayish in dried specimens, the context remains white.
Polyporus rutilans (=Polyporus nidulans). Very common around
Paris. Cfr. Sanders, Smith, and Bennett, Plate 45, which is a good picture
of it. This is said to have an "agreeable" odor, but I have never noticed it.
Polyporus frondosus. Generally (but incorrectly) called Polyporus intybaceus
in English mycology.
Polystictus fibula ? ? Polyporus chioneus. Polyporus tephroleucus
Polyporus amorphus. Polyporus destructor.
DAVIDSON, MRS. E. E., Ohio:
Phallus duplicatus. A fine specimen.
DAVIS, SIMON, Massachusetts (i):
Fomes leucophaeus. Thelephora Caryophyllea. Polyporus rutilans.
Bulgaria rufa. Hydnum albidum. Hydnum repandum. Polyporus albellus.
Myriadoporus (??) This is a myriadoporus condition of some Polyporus
which I can not refer to its normal form. The color and setae suggest
Polyporus gilvus, but the spores (2% x 8-10) do not accord with any species
I receive which has setae.
Polyporus admirabilis. Beautiful specimens of a rare species, and Mr.
Davis is about the only one of my correspondents who finds it. The spores
are cylindrical, 3x8, not globose as inaccurately chronicled.
Lentinus chrysopeplus (named by Mr. Davis). Cordyceps militaris.
Hydnum graveolens. Cordyceps ophiglossoides. Thelephora Schweinitzii.
Polystictus cinnamomeus. Polystictus pubescens. Stereum complicatum.
