This Fungus is underneath full of minute Pores, 
tho’ the Synopfis intimates the contrary, and I be- 
lieve that the flimy white Subftancc which covers 
the underfide of it when frefh, and hides the Pores, 
has occaflon’d the Miftake. 
It has its Name from the Uleit is put to chiefly in 
France and Thej-boil itin avery’ftrrongLye, 
and when dry again, beat it with a Mallet, and afterwards 
boil it in ( Germany ) with Saltpetre ( in France ) with 
Gunpowder. This Generally is much of the lame 
Shape, anlwers the End of Tinder, and is much cleaner.

by the Leen-flde on a \N'illow where I oblerved ma- 
ny growing one above the other, of which the low-
