 yellow within. Spores elliptical, slightly bent at one end, 2/A long. 



Pileus 2-3 in. broad. Stem 3 in. long, 6 lines thick. 



Dry soil in oak and pine woods. New Jersey. Ellis. 



I have seen no specimens of this species. From the description, its 

 affinities appear to be with B. bicolor, but it is placed here because of 

 its viscose pileus. Peck, Boleti of the U. S.

 or sinuate-depressed, whitish-yellow, becoming tinged with green. 

 Stem subequal, even, solid, paler, brown-pruinate . Spores fusoid- 

 oblong. 



Pileus 2-3 in. broad. Stem 2-4 in. long, 3-5 lines thick.
