The specimens of Fomes fraxineus and ulmarius show, by contrast, the
differences between these two closely related and often confused species.
Fomes ulmarius grows, I think, only on elm. The pore layers are quite dis-
tinct and of deeper color than the context (especially when fresh, the pores
fade considerably in dried specimens). The context is hard and cuts with a
brittle fracture. Fomes fraxineus, while very similar in general appearance,
the context and pores (flesh color in young specimens), and not very distinct
as to color. The context is hard but more of a "punky" nature as shown
in cutting it. It grows on various frondose wood (apple trees and particu-
larly ash).
THOMSON, GEO. M., New Zealand (w):
Fomes australis (?) I feel that this should be referred to this common
tropical form with which it agrees in context color, crust, and general appearance.
The trama is diseased (as is often the case with this species) and
J find no spores. There is one character of the specimen, however, that
departs from the usual collection, and I place considerable stress on it. It
has no stipe, but is attached by a reduced base, not dimidiate as australis
normally and usually is.
UMEMURA, J., Japan (x):
Daedalea gibbosa. (In Saccardo as Trametes.)
Polyporus (or Polystictus). Unnamed, I think. Not distinctly stiped,
but from a reduced base, and would be sought in Section 17 of Stipitate Polyporoids.
Pileus thin, with colored, brown, zoned pubescence, and darker
smooth zones. Context and hyphae colored. Spores not surely found, but
I think hyaline, smooth, 4 x 10, pointed at each end. Very
close to
caperatus.
Schizophyllum commune. Stereum hirsutum. Stereum (unknown to
me) . Polystictus sanguinarius. Stereum versicolor. Polyporus. Unknown
to me. I think unnamed. Trametes lactinea. Irpex (Sp.). Lenzites subferruginea.
Polyporus brumalis. Lighter color than our usual American
plant, but same species.
Stereum (Section Hymenochaete). Species unknown to me. The setae
(colored) are mostly imbedded and project but little. Hydnangium, species
doubtful. Polysaccum pisocarpium. Polystictus, unnamed, I think. Pores
large, shallow. I do not recall ever seeing such a species. Calvatia.
Sterile base. Stereum versicolor. Polyporus musashiensis ( ? ? ) . Polyporus.
Close but surely different from Polyporus dryadeus of Europe.
Polyporus (Sp.). Trametes (Sp.). Scleroderma Cepa. Daedalea gibbosa.
Fomes (Ganodermus) australis. Fomes (Ganodermus) nigro-laccatus.
For me it is only a form of Fomes australis with a slightly laccate
exudation on the crust. Fomes pachyphloeus. Geaster hygrometricus
unopened. Very deceiving in this state. Lycoperdon umbrinum. Polystictus
iodinus. Unusually bright-colored specimens.
Lenzites subferruginea. This, which seems to be a frequent plant in
Japan, replaces there Lenzites saepiaria of Europe and America, and is
quite close especially as to color. The Japanese plant is smoother, has
broader gills, and is more distinctly lenzitoid than the usual plant in America.
Polyporus musashiensis ? Poly.stictus lutescens.
