Efq. of Bury, and hollow. This fpecies varies in fize
from |th of an inch to an inch or more in height, and
is often as much at maturity when of the former fize
as of the latter. The gills appear to be ridges of the
fame fubñance as the pileiis ; hence it has been confidered
by fome as a Merulius.

V ERY common on ñicks, 8íc. &c. I think Scopoli's
name expreflive, as the radii or gills terminate in a
manner peculiar to this fpecies, forming a juncition not
unaptly refembling the nave of a wheel, the centre
receiving the ñipes like an axle. I believe no author
has mentioned the branching of this plant, -which it
fometimes does almoñ without end. May not abortive
branching fpecimens of this agaric have been miftaken
for fomething elfe ? They bear fome analogy
to Khizomorpba fragilis, (fee tab. 100). The flipes is
hollow.
