5. C. ALBO-VIOLACEUS, Pers.—Pileus fleshy, silky with innate fibrils, 
at length gibbous, violaceous-whitish. Stipe clavate, somewhat annu- 
late, violaceous, whitish. Lamelle attached, rather distant, serrulate, 
at first cinereous-violaceous. 
In woods. Pileus 2-3 in. broad, stipe 3-4 in. high. Inodorous, the 
stipe being violet above and white below the obscure annulus, some- 
times appears as if sheathed with a white silky covering; flesh juicy, 
blue-white. 
Genus V.—PAxiLtiuvs, Fr. 
Hymenophore contiguous with the stipe, decurrent. Lamelle mem- 
branaceous, easily split, somewhat branched and anastomosing behind, 
discrete from the hymenophore and easily separating from it. 
a. Pileus entire, the stipe central. 
1. P. FLAvipus, Berk.—Pileus fleshy, plane then depressed, some- 
what tomentose; the margin thin, involute, even or somewhat repand. 
Stipe solid, tough, curved and crooked, tapering downward. Lamelle 
long-decurrent, thin, sparingly branched, connected by veins, bright 
yellow. Spores sordid, somewhat fusiform, .010.005 mm. 
On hillsides in woods. Pileus 2-3 in. across, stipe 14-2 in. long. 
Pileus reddish, brownish or alutaceous, more or less tomentose and 
soft to the touch; stipe yellowish or reddish. This is one of Mr. Lea’s 
new species; it is quite common on the wooded bluffs about Cincin- 
nati. It is readily known by its bright yellow decurrent lamelle. 
b. The stipe excentric or lateral. 
2. P. rorosus, Berk.—Pileus fleshy, excentric, irregular, somewhat 
reniform, reddish or yellowish-brown, somewhat tomentose or glabrous. 
Stipe short excentric or lateral, curved, more or less reticulated by the 
decurrent pores. Hymenium bright yellow, porous, formed by 
numerous thin radiating folds which are crossed by other narrower 
folds so as to form large angular pores. Spores bright yellow. 
On the ground in woods. Pileus 2-5 in. in diameter, a half to an 
inch thick; stipe 14 in. or less in length. This is a very curious 
species closely allied to Boletus. It is liable at the first glance at the 
hymenium to be taken for a Boletus, but the pores are not easily 
separable from each other. It has a rather leathery feeling and 
appearance though quite fleshy. I have not observed the disagreeable 
odor that Mr. Berkeley speaks of. 
3. P. panuorpEs, Fr.—Pileus fleshy, dimidiate, conchate, downy
