BOLETUS spuMEus. 



1 HIS, which I beHeve to be a new fpecies, oozes 

 from decaying elms in a very foft frothy mafs, harden- 

 ing in a day or two ; and, if it dries favourably, the pi- 

 leus becomes hifpid. 'llic pores are fmall, and nearly 

 round ; the tubes not long. I have found it in Ken- 

 fington-gardens, at Kennington in Surry, and other 

 places.

 BOLETUS BETULiNUS. Bull. 312. 



-T OUND for feveral years on an old birch near Hc- 

 vingham, Norfolk, by the Rev. Mr. Alderfon. The 

 fliort lateral ftipes feems to imbibe much of the red- 

 difli hue of the inner brown bark of the tree, and 

 even granular particles of its fubftance. 1 he outer coats 

 are of a lightilh brown ; cracking from the pure white, 

 clofe, cork-like fubftance of the plant in advanced age, 

 as if from a white-waflied wall. The pores var}-, and 

 are fliortifli and uneven at their mouths, of a yellowidi 

 hue, and pretty clofely attached to the fubftance of the 

 plant.
