Boletus. In woods. Rare. July-Sept. 



Orifices of tubes at first dripping with a milky fluid. M.J.B. This dries in 

 the form of sugary granules. Edible. Spores spindle-shaped, yellowish- 

 orange, 8x3 mk. W.G.S.; oblong, 8-10x3 mk. K. N axne— granula, a 

 granule. Granulated. Linn. — Fr. Hym. Eur. p. ^cfo. Syst. Myc. \.p. 387.

7. B. bovinus Linn. — Pileus 5 cent. (2 in.) broad, pale yellow- 

 ish, rather plane, smooth, viscid ; flesh white. Stem 5 cent. (2 

 in.) long, equal, even, unicolorous. Tubes somewhat decurrent ; 

 pores compound, grey-light-yellow becoming' ferruginous. 



The gluten on the pileus, which is at length repand, is thin, not of a 

 different colour and not separating. Somewhat caespitose. 



In woods, chiefly pine. Uncommon. Sept.-Oct. 



Tubes resembling the pores of Merulius lachrymans, very shallow (\ in.) 

 Smell like Marasmius oreades. M.J.B. Spores spindle-shaped, dingy green- 

 ochre, 8x4 mk. W.G.S.; oblong-ellipsoid, 8-10x3 mk. K. Name — bos, an 

 ox. Perhaps from its gregarious habit; the synonym of ' Fl. Dan.' is B. 

 gregarius. It might also refer to colour as vaccinas does. Linn. — Fr. Hym.

 young as if villous- viscous, always even. Very distinct. 



In woods, chiefly pine. Frequent. Aug.-Oct.
