The species of this genus, between two hundred fifty and three hundred, are mostly sapro- phytes but a few are true parasites on woody plants. H. erinaceus Bui.*' Cap 5-30 cm. wide, white, then yellowish or somewhat brownish, the branches form- ing a dense head covered with teeth, fleshy; stem short and stout, 2-8 cm. long and thick, or entirely lack- ing; teeth 3-10 cm. long, slender, densely crowded; spores globose, clear, 5-6 m- The name refers to the ap- pearance of the head. It is the cause of a white rot on many deciduous trees, chiefly oaks. The rotted wood is soft and mushy. Numerous large holes filled with masses of light yellowish fluffy mycelium occur in the heart-wood. Sporophores are often absent on the rotted tree.
