AGARICUS FiMETARius. Curt. Lond.fafc. 1. t. 73.
FOUND growing occafionally every where, more
particularly among garden fweepings, and other rubbilh
in damp places, fingle, or in clufters. Stipes hollow,
containing a pith refembling a thread of cotton.
The pileus is more cylindrical than any other Agaric
at prefent known, even in the general appearance;
and I once faw it at Sir Abraham Hume's, Bart. Hertfordihire,
full four inches long, and only one and a
half in diameter. Some of the plants are eighteen
inches high, in the advanced ftate decaying at the
edges of the pileus, the feeds with the gills dropping
off in a fluid ftate. The annulus is remarkably permanent,
though fmall.

A COMMON plant, .varying but little except in
proportion. The ftipes is fomewhat fibrous and brittle.
The gills are lefs brittle, and join to the pileus
half an inch from the ñipes. The pileus is tough
and fpongy, efpecially when dry ; the annulus double;
the outermoft refembling the coating of the pileus,
the inner its fpongy fubfiance: fo alfo are the fcales of
the pileus.

BOLETUS BIENNIS. Bull. t. 449.7^. i-
F o u n d by the Rev. Mr, Hemfted in the neighbourhood
of Newmarket. According to Bulliard, it is apt
to vary much. The ftipes (occafionally central, and
covered with naked pores) is fomewhat tomentofe.
Pores varying, into finufes and labyrinths very irregularly.
The pileus is rather hifpid. It hardens in drying,
becoming woody.

BOLETUS PERENNIS. Linn. With. ed. 3. 314.
T h i s may be found every year in Sir William Jerningham's
plantations near Norwich, according to ray
experience for fome years. It is of a woody texture,
and appears nearly the fame whether freih or dried.
Mifs Johnes fent it to Dr. Smith from Hafod, Cardiganilrire.

BOLETUS ANGUSTATUS.
M R
. Robfon of Darlington firfl fent me a bit of this
plant. I have fince found it at the foot of a poplar in
Lambeth, and elfewhere. The charadter feems conftant.
It is fixed by the back; the pores are long and
narrow, with fome variations; the pileus flattiih, much
blotched with a dull crimfon, zoned and lobed, fomewhat
fatiny at the edges, which are of a filvery brown.
