Boletus confragosus. Hist

Rugged Boletus.

This very beautiful Boletus. which
grows rarely here nad very plentifully
about Darlington. has not before been
figured except by Bulliard. who calls
it B. labyrinthiformis.  It is of a
firm tough Woody substance and
dries and abides without shrinking,
a circumstance with which few of the
Funge are attended.  It grows on Ash
Thorn or Hasle [hazel] when in a putrid state
and pretty dry.
