Boletus crassipes 



Pileus convex or centrally depressed, firm, dry, velvety, brown 

 tinged with yellow, the wavy or lobed involute margin extending 

 beyond the tubes, flesh lemon yellow, unchangeable, taste sweet, 

 odor like that of yeast : tubes rather short, depressed around the 

 stem, almost free, yellowish mottled with brown, the mouths mi- 

 nute, stuffed when young: stem stout, thick, sometimes swollen 

 in the middle and sometimes bulbous, beautifully reticulated but 

 the reticulations sometimes disappearing with age, orange yellow 

 tinged with brown, flesh of a brighter yellow than that of the 

 pileus. 



Pileus 5-10 cm. broad : stem 6-8 cm. long, 2.5-3.5 cm. thick. 



Oak woods. Mt. Gretna, Pa. August and September. 



The thick, beautifully reticulated stem, the deep velvety brown 

 color of the pileus and the yellow color of the flesh serve to dis- 

 tinguish this species.

Pileus thick, convex or subcampanulate, dry, glabrous, rimose 

 areolate, tawny yellow, the extreme margin dark brown, flesh 

 spongy, tough, white, slowly assuming a reddish tint on exposure 

 to the air : tubes rather long, ventricose, depressed around the 

 stem and free or nearly so, greenish yellow, the mouths small, 

 tawny yellow : stem rather long, often narrowed and striate at 

 the top, dotted with brownish orange granules or points, radicating, 

 tough, stuffed with greenish yellow fibers, colored like the pileus. 



Pileus 5-7.5 cm. broad: stem 10-12.5 cm. long, 8-16 mm. 

 thick. 



Cespitose on decaying stumps. West Philadelphia, Pa. August. 

 Mr. Mcllvaine says that there were between 20 and 30 specimens 

 on and about an old stump and that they were as attractive to 

 the eye as a cluster of Clitocybe illudens.
