Liver Boletus. ^Anglis. 



On the trunks of hollow trees. VIII. IX. 



It is of a foft thick flefhy fubitance and dark red 

 color, fo extremely like a piece of a bullock's 

 liver, that it may be readily known oftly from 

 that circumftance. 



It grows fefiile, and is obfcurely lobed on the 

 margin. The upper furface is fmooth and 

 convex, the flcin a little ilrjated, the fiefli is fuc- 

 culent and replete with a purple juice. The 

 under fide is gibbou? and full of Ipng cylindri- 

 cal tubes with pale yellow mouths. 



Both the flcin and the whole mafs of tubes may 

 be eafily feparated from the flefhy part. 



It is a curious Fungus, and, according to Halkr^ 

 is of the eatable kind.
