TAB. CCXXIV.
AGARICUS sublantus.
I give this a specific name, but not without some diffidence, as it may possibly be a new variety of the last. I found it in great plenty in Hampstead-wood, October 1792. The floccose and conical pileus might appear very obvious distinctions, but weather and situation have a wonderful effect on this tribe of plants.
TAB. CCXXV.
BOLETUS communis. Bull. t. 393.
Found in woods, frequently of this bright colour, especially when in a young state. It is no less frequently of a duller colour when more advanced, resembling the pileus of B. fcaber, tab. 175. The yellow or lemon-coloured pores, and their being strait from the edge of the pileus to the stipes scarcely decurrent), will readily distinguish the one from the other. Does not Dr. Withering's B. sanguineus, 319, belong to this species? It changes blue when cut.
