2. LENTINUS COCHLEATUS F7. 
Pileus fleshy, firm, expanded, irregular, sublobed, often 
umbilicate or depressed, smooth, dull grayish-rufous ; lamellz 
close, rather broad, serrated, dull flesh-colored ; stipe central, 
eccentric or lateral, solid, slightly narrowed downward, dis- 
tantly suleate; plant densely ceespitose; pilei often growing 
together. 
Height 1-2’, breadth of pileus 6’—12’. 
Decaying wood. North Elba. August. 
Genus— BOLETUS F7.* 
Hymenophorum quite distinct from the hymenium. Trama 
obsolete. Hymenium lining the cavity of tubes separable 
from one another and from the hymenophorum.—Serk. Outl. 
The species of this genus are numerous, often large and fleshy, 
and readily known by the tubes being easily separable from the 
ileus. The flesh is soft and juicy and is very liable to be 
attacked by insects. In some species it changes color when 
bruised or cut.
