Boletus albus. Hist. 78.
White Boletus.

This Boletus grew under the Root
of a lar<s>e</s>ge Po<s>p</s>plar Tree which had been
blown down by the Wind at Copley Hall.

It was of a dead white except near the
Root where it was strongly tinged with
a reddish hue the surface appeared as if
dusted over with chalk, the pores small and
various in figure round oblong angled and
waved in every direction -- the substance
tough and leathery. The specimen here figured
is the only one I ever met with.
