Hymenophore formed from a woven mucedinous mycelium, covered with the waxy-soft, continuous hymenium which is reticulated on the surface with ob- tuse folds, imperfectly porous, at length gyrose and obsoletely toothed. Growing 071 wood, soft, mucedinous, at the first at least resupinate. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 591. I. LEPTOSPORI (AeJTTO?, fine, Slight ; 7ropos, a pore. From the shallow pore-like folds). Hymenium naked or obsoletely pruinose with the white spores. * Pileus effuso-rejlcxed, circumference de- terminate. ** Kesupinato-effused', flaxy-membranace- ous, separating, flaxy beneath and at the circumference. *** Crustoso-adnate, somewhat flaxy at the circumference. II. CONIOPHORI (ko^is, dust ; <pipa, to bear). Hymenium pulverulent with the fer- ruginous spores. Ait LXX. Merulius lachrymans. One- third natural size. I.—Leptospori. Hymenium naked, &c. * Pileus effuso-rcflexed, circumferc?ice determinate. 1. M. tremellosus Schrad.—White, resupinate then free or reflexed, fleshy - tremellose, tomentose, margin dentato-radiate. Folds porous, various, ruddy. Sporting in form, becoming pale in hidden places, but easily recognised by its gelatinoso-cartilaginous Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustratio
