HYDNUM Daviesii.


A rare species, hitherto I believe discovered only by the Rev. Mr. Hugh Davies, on a decaying apple-tree in Llysdulas garden Anglesea, 1790, from whom I have been favoured with excellent and well preserved specimens. It much resembles Boletus versicolor in colour and texture, and by the upper surface might be mistaken for that fungus.
