GENUS PANUS (See plate facing page 145) The members of this genus are leathery plants, with the stems lateral or wanting. The gills are simple, not forked, and the spores are white. Panus stypticus is common on rotten wood, and gives out a weird, phosphorescent light. The species of the genus Panus so much resemble species of the genus Lentinus, which do not have toothed margins, that Panus and Lentinus axe considered by some as one genus, with the name Lentinus. GENUS TROGIA But one American species is reported; this is small and leathery, brownish in colour, with the spore-bearing surface white. The lamellae are obtuse on their edges, and are not hairy. The spores are white. This plant is common on fallen branches of the alder. GENUS SCHIZOPHYLLUM The members of this genus have white spores and a leathery pileus, with the lamellae hairy and grooved, or split. Schii^^o- phyllum commune is common on twigs or branches. It varies from )4 to 2 inches across, appearing as fluted shells on the bark. Fa-mil'-I-i Pa'-nus Trog'-l-a Sklz-o-phyl'-lfim C6in-mii'-ne 67.
