FiauBS 1 above is very mnch like Figures 2 and 3, Plate VII., of Edible Mushrooms, from which it is easily distinguished by 



its bitter taste and rosy tabes. 

 FiQUBE 2 is a distinctively American species, and the authority for suspecting it is found in the fact that all Boleti which 



have red or red-mouthed tubes have been considered poisonous. Although valuable for an illustration of the lurid 



Boleti, this variety is probably edible. 

 FiouRB 3 is easily confounded with Figures 4 and 6, Plate VII., of Edible Mushrooms, if attention is not paid to the color of the 



tubes.
