AGARICUS FUsciPEs. 



1 FIND no defcription of this Agaric, and have named 

 it from the brown ftem, which is folid, with a pith. 

 The gills are rather broad, of a deep buff colour ; the 

 pileus lighter buff, with a darker colour fhaded by 

 degrees into a brown in the centre, which almoft forms 

 an umbo. I found this in fmall quantities in Sir 

 William Jerningham's plantations at Coftefey near 

 Norwich.

 BOLETUS VELUTINUS. With. v. 4. />. SS^- ^^- 3- 



f B ^ 



1 HIS Boletus has a pileus in its early ftate fo very 

 like velvet, that the name could not be more apt. 

 When more advanced it almofl: deferves the term 

 hifpid, as it refembles plufli ; afterwards it becomes, 

 black, and rots, the pores at firft being occafionally of 

 a whitiili or light yellow colour and fliort ; they grow 

 longer and browner till they emit a yellow powder, 

 which is more readily feen when its weight caufes the 

 threads of the fpiders which have run over the pores to 

 hang down in feftoons like Boletus hepatkus, tab. 58. 

 The edges of the pores are fometimes perceptibly 

 fringed. This fungus grows moft commonly on apple 

 trees, and often to a very large fize.— Is it B. villofus

BOLETUS ARBOREUS. 



IN OT uncommon on rotten willows in the autumn 

 in the Willow Walk, Chelfea. We found the fame on 

 an old oak ftump in Stone park near Withyam, Suffex. 

 A flat fpecimen was brought me by Mr. Jenkins, 

 gathered by himfelf. Dr. Ncehden, and Mr. Gotobed, 

 in Black park, near Eton. It varies in fliape, conform- 

 ing to the inequalities of the trees it grows on, lining 

 their cavities with its irregular linuofities or pores, 

 which are fomewhat central, and moftly of a reddifh 

 brown. The extremities are rugged and white. In 

 rainy weather, it is of a jelly-like fubftance : in dry, 

 horny.
