 TAB. CXCI.

Bull. t. 449. fig. 1. by the Rev. Mr. Hemsted in the eighbourhood of Newmarket. According to Bulliard, it is apt to vary much. The stipes (occasionally central, and covered with naked pores) is somewhat tomentose. Pores varying, into sinuses and labyrinths very irregularly. The pileus is rather hispid. It hardens in diying, becoming woody. T A B. CXCII. Linn. With. ed. 3. 314. may be found every year in Sir William Jerningham's plantations near Norwich, according to my experience for some years. It is of a woody texture, and appears nearly the same whether fresh or dried. Miss Johnes sent it to Dr. Smith from Hafod, Cardiganshire. TAB. CXCIII.

Robson of Darlington first sent me a bit of this plant. I have since found it at the foot of a poplar in Lambeth, and elsewhere. The character seems constant. It is fixed by the back ; the pores arc long and narrow, with some variations ; the pileus flattish, much blotched with a dull crimson, zoned and lobed, somewhat satiny at the edges, which are of a silvery brown.
