  This 
  species 
  bears 
  a 
  strong 
  resemblance 
  to 
  B. 
  subtomentosiis, 
  with 
  

   which 
  it 
  doubtless 
  has 
  been 
  confused. 
  The 
  strong 
  point 
  of 
  distinc- 
  

   tion 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  reticulated 
  stem, 
  which 
  should 
  place 
  it 
  among 
  the 
  Cal- 
  

   opodes. 
  In 
  large 
  specimens 
  these 
  coarse 
  reticulations 
  extend 
  to 
  the 
  

   base 
  of 
  the 
  stem, 
  in 
  smaller 
  ones 
  they 
  are 
  often 
  limited 
  to 
  the 
  upper 
  

   part. 
  The 
  spores 
  when 
  first 
  dropped 
  on 
  white 
  paper 
  are 
  dark 
  green 
  

   or 
  olive 
  green, 
  but 
  they 
  fade 
  to 
  a 
  yellowish-brown, 
  barely 
  tinted 
  with 
  

   green.

  depressed 
  about 
  the 
  stem, 
  their 
  mouths 
  

   small, 
  round, 
  bright 
  golden 
  yellow, 
  not 
  changing 
  color

  This 
  is 
  a 
  pretty 
  boletus, 
  well 
  marked 
  by 
  the 
  red 
  dots 
  of 
  the 
  stem. 
  

   It 
  is 
  apparently 
  a 
  very 
  rare 
  species. 
  B. 
  radicans 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  the 
  

   stem 
  sprinkled 
  with 
  red 
  particles, 
  but 
  that 
  is 
  a 
  larger 
  plant 
  with 
  the 
  

   margin 
  of 
  the 
  pileus 
  persistently 
  involute 
  or 
  incurved 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  

   radicating 
  stem, 
  characters 
  which 
  are 
  not 
  shown 
  by 
  our 
  fungus.

  Our 
  plant 
  differs 
  in 
  some 
  respects 
  from 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  Euro- 
  

   pean 
  species, 
  but 
  its 
  general 
  correspondence 
  is 
  so 
  close 
  that 
  it 
  can 
  

   scarcely 
  be 
  specifically 
  distinct. 
  The 
  European 
  fungus 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  

   an 
  acerb 
  taste, 
  approaching, 
  in 
  this 
  respect, 
  H. 
  acre.
