BoLetus INFLExuS. Pileus convex, glabrous, viscid, yellow, 
often red or reddish on the disk, the margin thin, inflexed, con- 
cealing the marginal tubes, flesh whitish, not changing color 
where wounded ; tubes rather long, adnate, yellowish, becoming 
dingy-yellow with age, the mouths small, dotted with reddish 
glandules ; stem rather slender, exannulate, solid, viscid, dotted 
with livid-yellow glandules; spores yellowish, .0004 to .0005 in. 
long, .00016 to .0002 broad. 
Pileus about 1 in. broad; stem about 2 in. long, 2 to 4 lines 
thick.

This Boletus belongs to the tribe Viscipelles. It is remarkable 
for and easily recognized by the inflexed margin of the pileus, 
which imitates to some extent the appendiculate veil of Boletus 
versipellis. It sometimes grows in tufts. The paper in which 
fresh specimens were wrapped was stained yellow. Boletus 
Braunii Bres. has an inflexed margin, but that is a much larger 
plant with a yellowish-brown pileus, a fibrillose stem and much 
smaller spores. 
PoLyporus ANcEPs. Effuso-reflexed or resupinate, inseparable 
from the matrix, firm, subcorky but flexible, white; pileus narrow, 
about 6 lines broad, laterally elongated or confluent, minutely 
downy, sometimes. rugosely pitted; pores minute, subrotund, 
commonly 2 to 3 lines long, the dissepiments obtuse; mycelium 
white, permeating the bark and wood.

The plants are commonly resupinate, but sometimes reflexed, 
forming a narrow pileus about half an inch broad but extending 
laterally for several inches. They are suggestive of the first year’s 
growth of P. connatus Fr., but they do not revive the next year, 
and they have a different habitat. Though differing somewhat in 
texture they are apparently related to such species as P. semisupt- 
nus and P. semipiteatus, and with them they serve to connect the 
genus Polyporus with the genus Poria. 
Sparassis Herpsti.—Plants much branched, forming tufts 4 to 
5 in. high and 5 to 6 in. broad, whitish, inclining to creamy-yel- 
low, tough, moist, the branches numerous, thin, flattened, con- 
Crescent, dilated above and spatulate or fan-shaped, often some- 
what longitudinally curved or wavy, mostly uniformly colored, 
Tarely with a few indistinct, nearly concolorous, transverse zones
