Pileus 1-3 inches broad; stem 3-4 inches long, 6-8 lines thick. 

 Woods. Port Jefferson. August. This species grows with 



B. rubropunctus, from which it is easily separated by its 

 dry pileus, smaller tubes and stouter stem. This is large in pro- 

 proportion to the size of the pileus.. In both the scabrously dotted 

 stem is suggestive of Boletus scaber, but both are separ- 

 able from that species by the yellow color of the tubes and the dif- 

 ferent dots of the stem.
