FUNGI OF ICELAND 557 
609. B. bovinus Linné, Flora Suecica, No. 1246 (9). 
Stated by E. Rostrup in Isl. Svampe 1903 p.295 to have been found 
in Iceland by König. 
Note. It must he regarded as doubtful whether this pronounced 
inhabitant of coniferous woods occurred in Iceland at a time when 
there were no coniferous trees at all in the island. 
610. B. piperatus Bulliard, 1. c., t. 451, f. 2. 
Egilsstadir [P.L.]. — Among moss in birch copses. 
Pileus 4—5 cm broad, flatly vaulted, viscid, tawny (g 2), flesh thin, 
yellowish, taste burning. — Tubes tawny (g 2), adnate to the stipe, some- 
what decurrent; mouths large, edged with the colour 17. — Stipe cylin- 
drical, stuffed, 5—6cm long, 6—8 mm thick, coloured like the cap, but 
the base citron-yellow (b 4). — Spores smooth, tawny, narrowly ellip- 
soidal, 8—9X3.5—4 u. 
Boletopsis P. Hennings. 
611. B. luteus (Linné) P. Hennings. 
Boletus luteus Linné, Flora suecica, No. 1247. 
Hallormstadir [P. L.}. — Under several Pinus montana, c. 15-year- 
old, grown from seed imported from Norway in a plantation, in a 
birch copse. 
The finding of B. luteus by Björn Halldörsson, recorded by E. Ro- 
strup in Botanisk Tidsskrift, Isl Svampe 1903, p. 295, must undoubtedly 
be due to an error on the part of Björn Halldörsson, since Iceland was 
then without coniferous trees.
