BOLETUS suBEROsus ? Linn.
I CAN find no plant that fo well accords with Lnnoeus's
defcription as this. The figures quoted for
his plant by our Engliflr authors, I am confident, belong
to other Ipecies, U has certainly a more cork-like
texture than any other with which I am acquainted.
I do not exaaiy comprehend what Linnoeus meant by
poris acutis spores acute). I fufpea it to be white when
perfeaiy freflr.

BOLETUS HYBRIDUS.
T H I S Boletus has many charaâers in common with
the B. lachrymans and B- Medulla-panis. It is generally
found growing horizontally under rotten floors attached
by its back, fpreading in large patches, forming
more or lefs broad ramifications, often inofculating,
ofa cottony fubfl;ance like the above mentioned, which
are commonly known by the name of Dry-rot. The
pores (which are feldom feen) are long, tubular, and
cylindrical, by which it is diftinguiflied from the other
two.

V E R Y common on decayed gate-pofts, old hewn
trunks, &c. attached by the back in large mafles, forming
a pileus in a fimilar manner to A. reflexa. 1 he
under furface is light-brown, becoming darker, fometimes
purpliili, and more corrugated when it gets
older. The fubftance is at firfl: gelatinous, inclining
to cartilaginous, but dries hard and horny. The
under fide refembles in fome refpefts Peziza auricularia
of Withering.

AURICULARIA AURANTIACA.
I HAVE never found this with an upper furface or
pileus, but in great abundance as here reprefented. 1 he
back is attached to the wood on which it grows. Its
whole fubftance is of an orange colour. '1 he extremities
are very finely fibrous and fattiny. The texture
of the plant is fomewhat woody, and if well dried it
becomes horny, retaining its original colour.

LYCOPERDON EQUINUM. With. V. A,, p. 378.
N O T an uncommon plant, though it has been confounded
with Lichen byjjbides. It is well defcribed by
Mr. Griffith in Withering. It is readily diftinguiflied
by wanting the ground of a Lichen. The figures are
dravi'n from fine fpecimens on a decayed horfe's hoof
found near London, and a little bit of ram's horn from
near Maiden-caftle, Dorfetilrire.

S O M E of thefe plants were fent me by the Rev. Mr.
Hailftone, gathered on Rumblesmoor, a few miles from
Bradford in Yorkflrire, in foine peat-holes ; and alfo
by Mr. T. F. Forfter, colleiled in a deep running
ftream at Tunbridge-wells. The fpecimen which fo
much refembles an Agaric was found fome years ago.
