BOLETUS spumeus.
This, which I believe to be a new species, oozes from decaying elms in a very soft frothy mass, hardening in a day or two; and, if it dries favourably, the pileus becomes hispid. The pores are small, and nearly round; the tubes not long. I have found it in Kensington-gardens, at Kennington in Surry, and other places.

BOLETUS betulinus. Bull. 312.
Found for several years on an old birch near Hevingham, Norfolk, by the Rev. Mr. Alderson. The short lateral stipes seems to imbibe much of the reddish hue of the inner brown bark of the tree, and even granular particles of its substance. The outer coats are of a lightish brown; cracking from the pure white, close, cork-like substance of the plant in advanced age, as if from a white-washed wall. The pores vary, and are shortish and uneven at their mouths, of a yellowish hue, and pretty closely attached to the substance of the plant.

AURICULARIA caryophyllea. Bull. 278.
IIELVELLA aryophyllea. Dicks. Crypt. fasc. 1. 20.
A very common parasite on the exposed fantstic roots of old firs in autumn. The specimens are of a woody or rather leathery substance, and grow in various forms, attaching themselves by their backs to any thing in the way; their colour is mostly a ferruginous brown, sometimes with white edges.
