Excerpt: ...Margin sub-acute, color at first white, finally creamy, or faintly yellowish, fragile, easily bruised and rubbed off, leaving the surface ochraceous; surface concave becoming plane or convex in age. Pores extending nearly through to the upper surface of the pileus, being covered above only by a thin (2 to 4 mm.) corky, pale-ochraceous layer. Spores hyaline, elliptical-globose or oblong, 5 to 6 by 4 to 5 microns. On Shepherdia.. The specimen referred to this species was determined doubtfully by Bresadola. Pileus dimidiate, zonate-hoof-shaped, attached by a broad base, convex above, subplane below but convex near the base and concave toward the margin, crust opaque, then brownish black; 9 to 12 cm. wide, 6 to 8 cm. long, margin subobtuse, finely tomentose and of a rhubarbbrown color; pores rhubarb brown, equal, round, 0.11 to 0.12 mm. in diameter, 1 cm. long, substratose, cystidia numerous 15 to 25 microns long, 6 to 10 microns thick inflated at the base; spores ferrnginous, globose, varying toward ovoid-globose, 3 to 3.5 microns. Context suberose to coriaceous. Pores not decurrent but separated by a definite margin. In habit and context it is like Fomes igniarius. The color seems to verge more toward cinnamon in some of our specimens. Specimens referred to this species were collected near Madison, Blue Mounds, and Ladysmith on oak and maple logs or stumps. The largest specimen is 15 cm. broad, 8 cm. long and 5 cm. thick. The pores change color when viewed while turning the specimen in the light. Syn.: Pyropolyporus Everhartii (Ell. & Gall.)
