Thin woods. Albany and Saratoga counties. July to October. 
This species resembles B. Amertcanus in color, but differs from it 
in its thicker pileus, stouter stem and differently colored spores. 
These have nearly the same color as those of B. Ravenel. In its 
more robust habit it approaches B. granulatus. The minute hairy 
squamules of the pileus are a peculiar feature, but they are not 
always present. The glandular dots occur also on the tubes. 
Boletus punctipes Pk. 
Punctate-stemmed Boletus. 
Pileus convex or nearly plane, glutinous when moist, yellow, the 
thin margin at first minutely grayish-pulverulent, becoming recurved 
with age ; tubes short, nearly plane, adnate, small, subrotund, a¢ first 
brownish, becoming sordid-ochraceous; stem rather long, tapering 
upwards, not annulate, glandular-dotted, rhubarb-yellow ; spores 
.00035 to .0004 in. long, .00016 to .0002 broad. 
Plant gregarious, pileus 2 to 3 in. broad, stem 2 to 3 in. long, 3 to 
5 lines thick. 
Woods. Gansevoort, Saratoga county. August. 
The rhubarb-colored stem and the brownish color of the young 
hymenium are the distinguishing features of this species. The granu- 
lations occur also on the tubes. The species is a rare one, having 
been found but once. “als 
Boletus’ albus Pk. 
White Boletus. 
Pileus convex, viscid when moist, whzte, flesh white or yellowish ; 
tubes plane, rather small or medium size, subrotund, adnate, whitish, 
becoming yellow or ochraceous ; stem equal or slightly tapering down- 
wards, not annulate, both it and the tubes glandular-dotted, white, 
sometimes tinged with pink towards the base ; spores ochraceous, sub- 
fusiform, .0008 to .00035 in. long, .00016 broad. 
Plant gregarious or subceespitose, pileus 1.5 to 3 in. broad, stem 
1.5 to 3 in. long, 3 to 5 lines thick. 
Pine or hemlock woods. Saratoga county and Adirondack moun- 
tains. August to October. 
This species is easily known by its white pileus. This, however, 
becomes dark-colored or brown indrying. The fresh plant sometimes 
has a peculiar fetid odor, but it does not appear to be constant. 
Boletus Boudiert Q. is a closely related European species. Another 
European species bears the name Boletus albus Gillet, but the name 
of the American plant, which was published in 1873, has priority.
