The conspicuous fungus Schizophyllum commune, Fries., is everywhere common on dead cane as on various dead branches, bark and other vegetable material. It is sometimes seen on standing cane, especially the dried or half-dried stalks met with in reaping and known as ' rotten cane.' There is no reason to beUeve that it ever occurs apart from previous serious injury by borers or by other fungi, except perhaps on cane very much over-ripe and beginning to dry up by reason of age.
