Genus Lenzites PolypOruS CircinatuS (See Plate Facing page 112) Polyporus circinatus quite often has one cap within another. The caps are thick, round, without zones, velvety, and of a rusty-yellow colour. The lower surfaces of the caps, with the stems are woody and corky, but the upper surfaces of the caps are soft and woolly. The stem is swollen and covered with yellow wool. The pores are decurrent, minute, and un- broken, and of a dusky grey colour. This is a handsome species, especially remarkable for its double cap. The stem is an inch long and almost equally thick. The cap is three to four inches wide, and the flesh is uniform in colour. GENUS TRAMETES Trametes pint is brown, and grows on pines and other cone- bearing trees. Trametes cinnabarina is bright red, and common on birch and cherry. Trametes suaveolens is white, and grows on willows. GENUS LENZITES Lenzites betulina The LenT^ites betulina has a somewhat corky, leathery cap, firm, and without zones, woolly and pale; the mar- gin of uniform colour; the lamellse radial, somewhat branching, and coming to- gether again. Sordid white. This fungus, in the form of brackets, is found espe- cially on birch trees, but it is also found on various other kinds. It is a wide- spread species, and is quite variable. The lamellse are at first thick white; then thinner, with acute edges. (^Ir-fl-na'-tus Pi'-nl Chi'-na-ba-r!'-nS Su-a-ve'-6-lens Len-zi'-les Bgt-Ci-Ii'-na s 113.
