Boletus versicolar. Hist. 81.
Striped Boletus.

This Boletus grows very frequent
on decayd [decayed] wood in the neighbourhood of Halifax.

It appears under various forms, but
is known with certainty by that it is
at all time of an hard tough cork like substance,
that it has pores but is destitute
or nearly so of Tubes, that it is more or
less dawny or shaggy on the upper side, and
marked with con<s>s</s>centric circles of various colrs [colors].

For my Figure I chose one fine specimen
which I imitated exactly, --  versicolor
