  Pileus

  or

  dots, 
  annu- 
  

   lus 
  submembranous, 
  glutinous, 
  at 
  first 
  concealing 
  the 
  tubes,

   lapsing

  In 
  the 
  Twenty-third 
  Report 
  this 
  fungus 
  was 
  referred 
  as 
  an 
  aber- 
  

   rant 
  form 
  to 
  B. 
  luteus, 
  which 
  it 
  much 
  resembles 
  in 
  its 
  general 
  char- 
  

   acters. 
  But 
  I 
  find 
  it 
  so 
  constant 
  in 
  its 
  peculiar 
  features 
  that 
  I 
  am 
  

   disposed 
  to 
  regard 
  it 
  as 
  a 
  distinct 
  species. 
  It 
  differs 
  from 
  B. 
  luteus 
  

   in 
  its 
  smaller 
  size, 
  more 
  slender 
  stem 
  and 
  glutinous 
  collapsing 
  annu- 
  

   lus. 
  This 
  never 
  extends 
  downwards 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  sheathe 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  

   the 
  stem, 
  but 
  forms 
  a 
  narrow 
  band 
  with 
  scarcely 
  any 
  spreading 
  

   margin. 
  Besides 
  the 
  stem 
  is 
  conspicuously 
  dotted 
  both 
  above 
  and 
  

   below 
  the 
  annulus. 
  The 
  markings 
  of 
  the 
  pileus 
  in 
  this 
  species, 
  B. 
  

   luteus 
  and 
  B. 
  Elbensis 
  are 
  similar 
  and 
  resemble 
  little 
  patches 
  of 
  innate 
  

   brownish 
  fibrils. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  probably 
  edible, 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  

   tested 
  it. 
  

  

  Boletus 
  Americanus 
  n.

  American 
  Boletus.

  nearly 
  plane, 
  soft, 
  very 
  viscid 
  or 
  glutinous 
  

   when 
  moist, 
  slightly 
  tomentose 
  on 
  the 
  margin 
  when 
  young, 
  soon 
  

   glabrous 
  or 
  slightly 
  squamose 
  on 
  the

  on 
  exposure 
  

   to 
  the 
  air 
  ; 
  tubes 
  plane 
  or 
  convex, 
  adnate, 
  rather 
  large, 
  angular, 
  

   pale-yellow,

  ; 
  stem 
  slender, 
  equal 
  or 
  

   slightly 
  tapering
