                        *_Veil fugacious, etc._


=P. dry´inus= Pers. _Gr._—oak. =Pileus= 2 in. broad, whitish, variegated
with spot-like scales which become dingy-brown, lateral, oblique, rather
plane. =Flesh= thick. =Stem= very curt and obese, commonly 1 in. long
and thick, somewhat lateral, somewhat woody, squamulose, white, with a
short, blunt root. =Veil= scarcely conspicuous on the stem, but
appendiculate round the margin of the pileus when young. =Gills= not
very decurrent, somewhat simple, not anastomosing behind, narrow, white,
becoming yellow when old.

On trunks, oak, ash, willow, etc. _Stevenson._

=Spores= 10×4µ _Massee_.

Edible. _Cordier_, _Cooke_.

When young the caps are tender; of the consistency, when cooked, of
Polyporus sulphureus. In taste and smell the species varies from other
Pleuroti, in having a distinct musk-like flavor. This is agreeable,
reminding one of the common mushroom—A. campester.


                   **_Veil none, gills sinuate, etc._


=P. ulma´rius= Bull.—_ulmus_, an elm. =Pileus= 3–5 in. and more broad,
_becoming pale-livid_, often marbled with round spots, fleshy,
_compact_, horizontal, moderately regular although more or less
excentric, convex then plane, disk-shaped, even, smooth. =Flesh= white,
tough. =Stem= 2–3 in. long, 1 in. thick, solid, firm, _elastic_,
somewhat excentric, curved-ascending, _thickened_ and tomentose _at the
base_, not rarely villous throughout, white. =Gills= horizontal,
_emarginate_ or rounded _behind_, slightly adnexed, broad (broader in
the middle), somewhat crowded, whitish.

The pileus is sometimes cracked in a tessellated manner. _Stevenson._

=Spores= nearly globose, 5µ long _Morgan_; 5–6.5µ broad _Peck_; 6µ
_W.G.S._

Var. _aceri´cola_—_acer_, maple; _colo_, to inhabit. Plant smaller,
cespitose.

Trunks and roots of maple trees. Adirondack mountains. September.

Var. _populi´cola_—_populus_, poplar; _colo_, to inhabit. Plant
subcespitose, stem wholly tomentose. West Albany. _Peck_, Monograph,
N.Y. Species of Pleurotus, Rep. 39.

The gills are sometimes torn across like those of Lentinus.
