NEW YORK SPECIES OF VISCID BOLETI.
BOLETUS Dill.

Hymenium composed of separable tubes crowded into a porous
stratum, without a trama, distinct and easily separable from the
hymenophore. Mouths of the tubes either porous, round or angular;
spores normally fusiform, rarely oval or subrotund. Terrestrial, fleshy,
putresceni, centrally stipitatefungi. .Jl. 1any of them valuablefor their
edible qualities, a few poisonoue. Hym. Europ. , p. 495.
This genus is related to Puxillus 011 one hand a nd to Polyporus on
the other. It is more accurately limited than many others, but its
species are numerous and Icss clearly defined. Some are very vari­
able, others are too closely allied to be readily distinguished. Fries
remarks that" no genus has given me more trouble than that of the
Boleti." The difficulty is apparently due to the imperfect descrip­

tions given by some authors and to the variability of some species
whose limits have not been well ascertained,
Most of the Boleti grow in the warmest part of the season, and
especially in very warm showery weather. They are scarce in dry
weather. Some species attain a very large size, others exhibit a
singular change of color in their tubes 0[' flesh when cut or bruised.
They are described as terrestrial, yet a few species sometimes occur
also on much decayed wood .
.The spores vary in color in different species, but this variation
occurs in closely related species, so that it is not deemed available for
classifying in series as in the genus Agaricus. It is, however, valu­
able as a specific character and should always be noted. Fries has
taken the primary color of the tubes as the distinguishing character
of the series, but the same objection holds in this case as in the
other.
New York is rich in species of this genus. Two sections, LACERI­
PEDES Pic (Torr. Blll\. 1883, r- 73) uud HIRTIPELLES Pic (in. ed.)
are represented, of which no examples appeal' to have occurred in
Europe. W e attempt here an exposition of the species of the Vis­
cipelles, th e first section in the Friesian arrangement.

VrSCIPELLES.
Pileus covered wl.:th a viscose pellicle. Stem solid,
neither bulbous nor reticulated with veins. Tubes adnate to the stem,
rarely sinuate, of one color. Hym. Europ., p, 496.

In this section the species have 'the pileus either viscid or glutinous
when moist, and in most of them the viscid pellicle is separable from
the flesh. The flesh, when cut or exposed to the air does not, with
one exception, assume the bluish tints so often seen in some of the
members of other sections, yet in some, dull-pinkish or ITIOre obscure
tints appear. In mature plants it generally becomes soft, almost
floccose or cottony in texture. The tubes are mostly adnate or even
slightly decurrent. In rare instances they may be somewhat de­
pressed around the stern. The pores are usually of medium or large
size and frequently angular. The dissepiments are often uneven or
dentate. The mouths are colored like the rest of the tubes. Yellow
or ochraceous hues prevail, but the tubes when young are paler than
when mature. The stern is not distinctly bulbous, is always solid
and generally glabrous or merely dotted. It is annulate in some,
naked in others. In several closely related central species of the
group it, as well as the tubes, exudes, when young, drops of a thick,
gummy fluid, which soon hardens, becomes darker and forms sugary
granules or glandular dots. The color of the spores is by no means
uniform, but it is some shade of ochraceous, ferruginous or brown.
The first and last species here described are exceptional by their
slight viscidity". The first is also exceptional by its universal tomen..
tose-pulverulent veil. Several species are edible. Nearly all occur
ill regions inhabited by pine or other coniferous trees, and are want­
ing in localities destitute of these trees.

Thi s is a very distinct and beautiful species. Mr. Ravenel remarks
in his not es that " this plant is not infested by larvee, and preserves
more consta nt characters t han any other Boletus with which I am
acquainted." The webby powdered filaments const itute a univ ersal
veil, which at first covers t he whole plant and conceals th e yo ung
tubes. As the pileus exp ands, th e veil generally disappears from the
disk and ruptures between th e margin and the st em, a part adh ering
to each, In consequence of the peculiar veil and th e slight viscidity
of the pileus the species does not harmonize well with the associated
species, and but for the slight annulus it might as well be placed near
B. piperatus. The annulus is sometimes stained by the spores,

Th ese, when caught on whit e paper, at first appear to have a slight

This rare and showy species is at present known only from two
localities, North Elba, where it was first discovered ill 1869, and at
Jacksons, near Cedar riv er, where it occurred in 1878. When cut
the flesh emits a strong; unp leasant odor. W ounds of the flesh, made
by insects or small animu ls, had a bright-yellow color. W hen
young, th e tomentose veil covers the whole plant, but it soon breaks
up into scales on the pileus, and partly or wholly disappears from the
stem. Th e color of the spores is darker than in any of the other

species of this section .

This species is so closely related to the European B. laricinus, that
it might almost be regard ed as a variety of that species. I have

This fine species is apparently the American analogue of the Euro­
pean B. elegans, from which it differs in its generally darker color,

in its persistent, not fugacious, annulus, and in its stem, which is not
at all dotted, either above or below the annulus. It is edible, and
has a mild taste in the fresh uncooked state. It has occurred once
in Washington Park, Albany, near some larch trees, with which it was
probably introduced.

This is the only instance in which I have observed this species in our
State. Possibly it may have been introduced in this place with the
young pines under which it was growing. Its annulus is very conspicu­
OllS.
It is sometimes torn and partly adherent in fragments to the mar­
gin of the pileus. In short-stemmed specimens it extends downwards
and covers the lower part of the stem Eke a sheath, resembling in this
respect the western B oletus spluerosporus, a related species. In other
specimens it forms a broad band with the upp ermargin widely sp read­
ing. In the dried specimens the pileus has assumed a dun-brownish
or reddish-brown hue. The plant is edible.

in its smaller size, more slender stem and gl utinou s collapsing annu­
Ins. This never extends downwards so as t o sheathe th e lower part of
the stem , bnt form s a Harrow band with scarcely any spreading
margin. Besides the stem is conspicu ously dotted both above and

brownish fibrils. The species is probably edible , but I have not
tested it.

This is one of our most common species. It is ge nerally associated
with B. qranulaius, from which it is easily distingui shed by its thinner
pil eus, yell ow color and more slender stem. As in that and . ot her
related species, th e ste m and tubes exude drops of a turbid milk or
juice which hardens and for ms th e glandular dots seen on th em.
These are sometimes so numerous th at th ey become confluent. By
them and the viscidity of th e pil eus in thi s and allied species the
fingers become stained in handling the fresh plants. Th e species is
closely related to the European B . jlavz"dus, to which our plant has
commonly been referred by Am erican mycologists, and under which
name it stands in the Tw enty-third Rep ort. I am satisfied by more
recent investigation th at it should be kept distin ct , inasmuch as it
constantly differs in the character of the veil and th e dots of the
stem. In B. fiau idu» the stem is described as sprinkled with fuga­
eious glandules above the merely viscous annulus. In B . A mericanus
the st em is dotted from t op t o base with persistent glandules, th ere
is no ap pearance of an annulus on it and the veil is somewhat to­
mentose on th e margin of th e young pileus. The plant has a slight
subacid odor which is percepti ble even in the dri ed specimens. The

. mycelium is white.

The pileus in this species is very variable in color, but it is never
wholly white as in the preceding species. Its stem is often dotted to
the base, but the dots or granules are generally more numerous and
distinct on the npper part. This and B. Boudieri appear to be the
only Enropean species with exannulate glandular-dotted stems. If

we have correctly valued our forms, New York alone has five such
species. It 18 true, they are closely related to each other, and might
be regarded by some as mere varieties of a single extremely variable
species, but to me the distinguishing characters here given appear to
be constant and decisive.
