1 FOUND great plenty of this, in the autumn of 1795, 

 in Peckham Wootls, Surrey, much larger in fize than 

 is here reprefentcd. This varies a little in the colour 

 of the pileus ; fometimes being nearl)' white, fome- 

 times Itill redder than our figure, but the tubes are 

 mollly of a bright yellow. The l\em is cylindrical, 

 partly comprefled, having oblong indentations which 

 catch the ferruginous feeds that fall from the pores, 

 giving a pleafuig etfecfl to the golden Item. It is very 

 remarkable that the plant, although very carnole, does 

 not change colour when cut. It is faitl to be good eat- 

 ing when properly drelfed ; the tafte when fimply 

 broiled is not unpleafant. It is white internally, and 

 eats like veal, though fomewhat tough.

1 HE Rev. Mr. Charles Abbott, of Bedford, favoured 

 me with thefe fpecimens, found in Clapham Wood, in 

 that county, OQi. 26 and Nov. 2, 1796. I believe this 

 fungus was not before known to grow in England. 

 The points fpread a little, and are irregular, more or 

 lefs conca\'e on one fide, giving it the appearance of 

 a Boletus^ to which it is nearly allied.
