. British fungi (Hymenomycetes). Fungi -- Great Britain. Subgenus IX. PLEUROTUS {'KK^vp6v, a side ; ols, an ear). Fr. pieurotus. Syst. Myc. i. p. 178. Stem excentric, lateral, or none. Epiphytal {very rarely groiviiig oji the ground), irregular, fleshy or membranaceous. The Pleuroti are very easily dis- tinguished from the subgenera with cartilaginous stems (); but from the other subgenera, which have the hymenophore continuous with the stem (), they are only distinguished by their place of growth being on wood. For many Pleuroti of the first section when growing ver- tically—, A. corticatus, ulmarius, spodoleiicus—have the stem central and the pileus regular and horizon- tal. On the contrary, various species x. Agaricus{Pieurotus)cortkatus. of Clitocybae and Omphaliae in a One-sixth natural size, slanting situation, especially on the sides of roads, vary in form and become excentric and oblique. Among the Lactarii, Cantharelli, Marasmii, and all the last gen- era of the Agaricini, there are also forms analogous to the Pleuroti. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 166. The species are very polymorphous. Usually late in the year (but A. ostreatus also occurs in spring). Most are mild, and some—, A. ulmarius, tessulatus, ostreatus—are edible. I. Excentrici. Pileus entire, laterally extended, excentric, so that here and there it appears lateral; but more attentively observed there is noticed even.
