Lenzites vialis Peck. 



Pileiis coriaceous, sessile, dimidiate or elongated, sometimes 

 confluent, obscurely zoned, subtomentose, brown or grayish-brown, 

 the margin cinereous; lamellae thin, abundantly anastomosing, 

 pallid, cinereous-pruinose on the edge when fresh. 

 Pileus 6"-12" broad. 



Old railroad ties. JSTorth Greenbush and Center. October. 



This is not as bright colored as L. sejnaria^ nor so distinctly 

 zoned ; the lamellae are closer, thinner and more anastomosing, 

 forming pores toward the outer margin almost as in the genus 

 Polyporus. 



Boletus piperatus Bidl. 



Ground in open woods. Lowville and Bethlehem. September 

 and October. 



Boletus ohrysenteron Fr. 



Ground in open woods. Worcester and Memphis. July and

Boletus pallidus Frost. 



Pileus soft, viscid when moist, smooth, pale alntaceous ; tubes 

 plane, attached, sometimes slightl}- depressed around the stem, 

 small, subangular, pale yellow, slightly changing color when 

 wounded ; stem subequal, smooth, solid, pallid ; spores .00045 x 

 .00022 in. 



Plant 2'-5' high, pileus 2'-4' broad, stem 4:"-6" thick. 



Ground in woods. North Greenbush. August. 

 It is allied to B. scaber, from which its plane yellowish tubes 

 and smooth stem will separate it. 



Boletus ampliporus Peck. 



Pileus broadly convex or expanded, sometimes slightly umbo- 

 nate, dry, squamulose-tomentose, pinkish-brown ; tubes convex, 

 attached or slightly decurrent, very large, angular, compound, yel- 

 low ; stem equal, solid, yellowish-brown, paler at the top and 

 marked by the decurrent walls of the tubes; flesh whitish tinged 

 with yellow, unchangeable ; spores pale ochraceous with a greenish 

 tinge, .00035 x .00016 in. 



Plant 3-5' high, pileus 3-4' broad, stem 3"-6" thick. 



Low mossy ground in woods. North Elba and Sandlake.
