_ Bol, imbricatus seems something like it, but is a much larger 
and more luxuriant specimen, perhaps also in an older state, for 
the pores have a deeper shade of colour. It however is more 
bright in its tints, and wants the warty tubercles on the pileus, 
so that I dare not cite it as the same. ,
