 TAB. CCLI. larger ones herein figured were sent by favour of the Rev. Mr. Alderson, from some clay walls in his garden at Revingham, Norfolk.

curious produdtion was sent me in September last by the Rev. Mr. Forby, who found it on a wood-stack on his premises at Wereham, Norfolk : the figure represents it in profile. The specimen is more than eight inches wide, very white, and tough, in comparison to Hydnum repandum.

It appears by a manuscript note that the late Rev. Mr. Lightfoot met with a specimen of this Hydnum in a hollow tree near Uxbridge in 1782. TAB. CCLIII. Lightf. 1057.
