or minutely subtomentose, at length distantly striate, rufescent ; 

 lamellae distant, unequal, blackish-brown. 



On alder. July. Earle. 



From P. operculars, which also grows on alder, this species 

 may be separated by the soft pulverulent coating of the pileus, 

 by the lateral attachment of the pileus and by the very dark or 

 almost black color of the lamellae. Spores not seen. 



Boletus leptocephalus. 



Pileus thin, broadly convex or nearly plane, dry, minutely 

 rimose, especially near the margin, light tawny-brown, sometimes 

 tinged with reddish -brown, flesh yellowish-white, taste at first mild, 

 then slightly acrid ; tubes subventricose, depressed about the stem, 

 nearly free, dingy olive -yellow, the mouths small, subrotund ; 

 stem nearly equal, enlarged at the top, solid, glabrous or slightly 

 pruinose-mealy, reticulated above, colored like the pileus, white 

 within, with a white mycelium at the base ; spores greenish - 

 olivaceous, fusiform, 12. 5- 17. 5 ft long, 5-6 (i broad. 



Pileus 10-12. 5 cm. broad ; stem 10-12. 5 cm. long, 1.2-1.6 cm. 

 thick. 



Dry, open woods. July. Earle. 



The reticulation of the upper part of the stem appears to be 

 formed by the decurrent walls of the tubes. The species belongs 

 to the tribe Edulcs. 



Thelephora gracilis. 



Stems scattered, branched above, slender, tough, the branches 

 lender, subterete, sometimes slightly channeled on one side, once 

 or twice forked, the tips acute, becoming brownish with age, the 

 stem and branches whitish ; spores oblong, 1 2.5-1 5 I* lon & 4~5 " 

 broad. 



Plant 3.7-5 cm. high, stem about 2 mm. thick. 

 Moist ground. July. Earle. 



The species is related to T. Schu'dnitm, from which it diners in 

 habit, in its slender and nearly terete branches and in its spores. 



Clavaria longicallis. 



Stem slender, solid, sparingly and irregularly branched above, 



the branches rather long, simple or sparingly branched the tip 



bl ^nt, the whole plant dark brown when fresh, externally dark
