SUMMARY
A white species of Tyromyces with a wide distribution in the Northern Hemisphere, with a disagreeable taste, and the cause of a brown rot of the wood of both angiosperms and gymnosperms, is proposed as the original concept of Polyporus lacteus Fr. It is considered specifically distinct from the morphologically similar T. tephroleucus which is mild in taste and causes a white rot. Descriptions of the basidiocarp and cultures are given.
