DECADES OF FUNGI; 101 
Scattered. Pileus 1-14 inch broad, plano-convex, umbilicate, sub- 
membranaceous, white, clothed with minute rufous velvety scales, 
which are crowded and confluent in the centre. Stem 1 inch high, 
1 line thick, solid, white with rufous scales. Gills rather distant, thin, 
slightly decurrent, white, connected by veins, slightly jagged. 
A very pretty species allied to Z. tigrinus, but far more delicate. 
The pileus is very thin, and in consequence, when dry, it has an hygro- 
phanous aspect.

Hard ; woody, diim hite. Pileus subtriquetrous, rather elongated, 
2 inches broad, 14 long, 3 thick, villous when young, but soon 
smooth and shining ; surface unequal, once or twice suleate, with some 
trace of the almost obliterated villosity towards the margin. Gills 
broad, thin but woody, branched, and here and there forming sinuous 
pores. 
Allied to Lenzites betulina, but a more rigid species. It resembles 
also Lenzites aspera, but has not the scabrous surface of that species, 
nor has it the same habit. 
212. Boletus Ananas, Curt. MSS.; pileo floccoso-verrucoso ; floccis 
supra candidis, subtus carneis; margine lacerato membranaceo; sti- 
pite candido; poris planis luteis. . Curt., No. 1649 
Has. Near old pine logs. June-Oct. South Carolina. 
Pileus 2 inches or more broad, convex, thick, floccoso-verrucose ; 
flocci whitish above, pink below ; margin membranaceous, torn. Stem 
4 inches high, solid, white, nearly smooth. Porous, plane, rounded 
behind, yellow or greenish yellow. Spores oblong, ferruginous, or, 
when seen by transmitted light, yellow. 
Resembling in general appearance Boletus floccosus, but distinguished 
by its nearly smooth stem and ferruginous, not brown, spores. It has 
lately been published with some others in a number of Silliman's 
Journal, which has not yet reached this country. 
213. Polyporus Curtisii, Berk. MSS. ; pileo excentrico molli-suberoso 
sulcato zonato ochroleuco hic illic sanguineo-laccato. Stipite elongato, 
rugoso, sanguineo-laecato. Hymenio ex albo ochraceo ; poris puncti- 
formibus. Curt., No. 549, 577, 908, 979, 1131, 1525.
