Globular but compressed. Diameter 1 to 2 inches. Inner 
coat tough and woody ; outer skin thin, brown, cracked, but ' 
not papillose. Inside firm, solid, blue black, even from its 
youngest state. It seems composed of black grains, imbedded 
in a grey cottony substance, so that when broken it appears 
more grey than when cut, for then the inside of the granules 
appear black from being cut through. Stemless. Root short.

From 1 to 2.inches or more in diameter. Roof none, but 
radical fibres are connected with different parts of its surface. 
When it rises out of the ground, the fibres which are undermost 
unite themselves and form a kind of root. It is at first brown, 
and rough, and milk white within. When it is risen above the 
surface of the it assumes various colours, as yellow, or 
green, or reddish brown. ‘The inside now changes to purple, 
Variegated with black veins, and at length becomes wholly* 
black. The rind is very strong, and never breaks open like 
that of the Lycoperdons. Bot‘ron.
