I20 POLYPORKI. 



This is quite common in our Valley. Wherever there are white pine 

 trees you will almost be sure to find the B. Americanus in their proper 

 season. 



B. inflexus. Pk. 



PiletlS, convex, compact, covered with a viscid pellicle, 

 yellow, flesh pale yellow, margin inflected beyond the tubes, 

 covering them, veil-like for about four lines or more. 



Tubes, adnate, small, both tubes and orifices of one color. 



Stem, elongated, same color as pileus or a little more pallid. 



The plant stains yellow in handling. 



This new species I found in Kuhn's woods, near a dried-up water 

 pond, near Chapman's Station on the C. «S: F. R. R. 

 Named by Prof. Peck, State Botanist of New York. 



B. granulatus. Linn. 



Pileus, two to three inches broad, hemispherical, at first 

 covered with a brownish gluten, then turning yellowish, flesh 

 thick, yellowish, does not turn blue, margin involute at first. 



Tubes, at first white, then light yellow, compound, the 

 margin distilling a pale watery fluid, which when dry gives 

 the granulated appearance, adnate. 



Stem, one inch or more high, one-half inch thick, pale 

 yellow above, white below, granulated. 



Spores, spindle shape, yellowish-ferruginous, .0003 to 

 .00013 inch. 



Abundant in mixed woods of pine and chestnut. Minesite woods is 

 the best locality in the Lehigh Valle3^ In its proper season I have seen 

 the ground literally covered with them in all the different stages. 



Some authors praise it very highly as esculent. 



B. piperita. Bull. Peppery Boletus. 

 Pileus, convex, then plane, smooth, slightly viscid, yellow, 

 inclining to reddish, flesh yellow, not changing color,
