Sphaeria riccioida Hist. 182.

Branched sphaeria.

This nondescript, I never found 
but in one particular spot. nor do I
know of any other that ever met with
it, except it be the Plant which Bulliard
calls Boletus ramosus and has figured
on his 418th Plate.  By what one may
Judge from his figure his plant does
not obviously differ in habit or character
from mine, and it has not the proper
marks of a Boletus about it, so that
I am inclined to think they are in species 
the same, however nature, or Art, may
have increased his Plant, or diminished mine.
