In the vicinity of Munich the sporophores are common on ash. Schroeter gives elm and plane as hosts, and Prillieux. Fig. 277.—Polyporus hispidTiS, Longitudinal section through a living stem of Ash, and a sporophore of F. hispidus. The stem shows symptoms of wood- destruction, in that it becomes brown and has short white longitudinal and radial stripes, (v. Tubeuf phot.) and Delacroix state the fungus' to be very dangerous to the mulberry in France. It causes^ brown discoloration of the wood accompanied by characteristic short white lines in both radial and vertical directions, so that the wood becomes marked out in squares. Polyporus (Poria) laevigatus Fr.^ Sporophores dark-brown 1 Prillieux (Bnllet. de la Soc. mycolog. de France, ix., 1893), gives details of the destruction of the wood. ^Mayr, Botan.
