THIS fpreads in irregular patches, on the furface of decaying 

 wood, in moiif. damp houfes, or in woods. In the fpeci- 



mens before me, the pores, for a fnaall fpace all round the margin, 

 are round and diitinct ; but towards the centre greatly lengthened 

 out, not upright, but lying one upon another in an imbricated 

 order, and have fomewhat the appearance of falling tears. My 

 fpecimens are young, and adhere to the wood by their whole 

 breadth j when the plant is old the margin is detached at one or 

 more fides. The colour is white at firft, when old changes to a 



yellow brown, and at laft to a dirty fufcous black. 1 believe 



my Boletus obliquus, Tab. 74, is a variety of this fpecies.

FIG. II 



THIS fpreads on the furface of wood or bark, when in a dry 

 ftate, and far advanced in decay ; the fubitance is light and 

 thin ; the patches very various in figure and fize. It fo perfectly 

 refembles a thinflice, cut from the middle of a loaf of houfehold 

 bread, that any other defcription is quite unneceffary. Grows in 

 woods and hedges, about Halifax, not unfrequently.
