European Mycology

** Semi-circular, with the cap usually horizontal.

7. ferruginea, effused-reflexed, leathery, yellow-ferruginous: the young form and the margin are white-villous, with deformed grooves. Fries l. c. p. 339. Schum. Flor. Seeland. p. 373.

It grows in winter on decaying wood of the European beech (Fagus sylvatica), in Denmark. At the beginning, it is resupinate and pale incarnate-rose, with a sub-byssoid margin, finally becoming reflexed and horizontal, 3 inches wide, yellow-ferruginous in color, with darker zones, and a flexuous, white-villous margin. The gills are narrow, flexuous, and anastomosing; the grooves are sufficiently ample and deformed. Schum.

8. rubescens, with a smooth, rather thin, zoned, kidney-shaped, reddish cap, and sub-colored straight grooves: the central ones are sub-pore-like. Consp. fung. p. 238. t. XI. f. 2.

It grows in Lusatia, on the trunks and dead branches of goat willow (Salix caprea) in dark woods, in autumn. At first, it is entirely covered, especially underneath, with a white bloom, upon the removal of which the color appears, which in fresh specimens is rose-reddish or sub-purplish; later it becomes more opaque. The cap is mostly exactly semi-circular, barely tomentose covered with fine, matted hairs when young, smooth when adult, zoned, or as if radiated-striated. Consp. l. c.

9. angustata, large, sub-imbricated overlapping like shingles, pubescent, brownish-scarlet, with a whitish margin, and simple, straight, sub-concentric grooves.
