OOMETIMES an inhabitant of dark cellars on very 

 rotten wood, or of the fliady parts of damp woods. 

 In addition to its general chara(5ter of looking like 

 the crumb of bread, or the infide of a loaf, we may 

 remark that in its latter or browner ftate, mouldering 

 or rotting away, it refembles rafpings of bread. It 

 frequently branches to a confiderable length, the 

 broader parts more or lefs producing pores, w^hich 

 are irregular with rugged divifions. Ihe whole 

 plant is perfectly white, except in decay, when the 

 pores become of a yellowifli brown. The texture is 

 of a fine cottony nature.

P OUND on the under fide of rotten branches, ly- 

 ing on the ground. It is of a ferruginous tint. The 

 upper parts of the points have fometimes a glandular 

 appearance. They are often whitilli below, and ter- 

 minate with little hairs. We have always found 

 this Hydnum attached by its back, forming patches 

 of different dimenfions.

1 HE rude appearance of this plant, which has been 

 found by Lady Arden in Nork Park, and by myfelf 

 in Kenfmgton Gardens, would hardly at firlf excite 

 curiofity; but when examined by a moderate mag- 

 nifier it prefents a very curious ftrudure. The 

 points are irregular, whitifli and downy, fomewhat 

 branching, and in their latter Hate protruding other 

 points of an orange colour, which are covered with 

 hairy fpiculx. it is attached by its back like the 

 lait.
