readily be diftinguiilied by the narrow bright fox-co- 

 loured gills. Among the longer grafs, refufed by cattle, 

 it is drawn up, as in our talleft figure. When gathered 

 in perfection it dries well. Is the A. Colus, With. 383, 

 diftindt from this ? 



TAB. XXXIV. 



BOLETUS PiPERATUs. Bulliard /. 451. 



vV E believe this Boletus has appeared only in Bul- 

 liard's admirable work. It grows in tolerable plenty on 

 Hainault Foreft, towards Chigwell Row, Effex, though 

 not hitherto mentioned as a native of this ifland, but 

 we have reafon to think it is not uncommon. The 

 pores are very open and irregular, and fometimes fo 

 fliallow as to be mere reticulations, as in fome foreign 

 Boleti. Its colour varies a little. The name exprefles 

 its pungent etFedt on the tongue and throat, like that 

 of the Capficum. 



T A B. XXXV. 



HELVELLA spatulata. 



CLAVARIA Spathula. DickJ. Crypt, fafc. i. 21. 

 With. V. 3. 450. 



I GATHERED this fungus, in the autumn of 1794, in 

 the plantations at Coftefy near Norwich, in company 

 with its original difcoverer James Crowe, Efq. of La- 

 kenham. It is to be found there every year in great 

 abundance. As a fpecies it is fufficiently diftin6l, 

 though as to its genus, according to our prefent fyf- 

 tems, fomewhat obfcure, being nearly equally allied to 

 Peziza, He/ve//a, Lycoperdon, and Clavaria. The feeds 

 are difcharged in the form of fmoke, from pores in the 

 edges, and may perhaps be imbedded in the fubftance, 

 as has been obferved in Peziza vejiculofa.
