wood, in moift damp houfts, or in woods.- In the ipecimens
before me, the pores, for a fmall fpace all round the margin,
are round and diftinil; but towards the centre greatly lengthened
out, nofcjupright, but lying- one upon another in an imbricated
order, and.' have fomewhat the, appearance of falling tears. . My
fpecirrtens- are young, and adhere to the wood by their whole
breadth; when the plant is old the margin is detached at one or
more iides. The colour is white at; firit, when old changes to a
yellow brown, and at laft to a dirty fufcous black. 1 believe
iny Boletus Miquus, Tab. 74, is a variety of this fpecies.
