The rot of woods, known as partridge wood, where the timber becomes speckled with white, is due to Stereum frustidosum. Fig. 86.—Coral-like fruit-bodies of Clavaria fiava. (Photo by W. H. Walmsley.) (Fig. 85). The fruiting bodies are hard and crust-like, light brown to grapsh in color. The smothering fungus of seedUngs is Thelepkora terrestris and T. laciniatum. Soft leathery masses are found at the base young trees of the hard maple. These are numerous, shelf-Hke fruit of bodies, hemispheric in shape and in mass may completely surround and smother the small tree. Hymenochcete noxia attacks tropic plants, such as cocoa, tea, bread fruit, camphor and the like. Family 5. Clavariace^.—The fairy clubs, or coral funguses belong here.
