veins. This is also a variable species and grows in woods. It is pretty, and is easily known by its shape. +BOLETUS MURRAYI.+ +Murray's Boletus.+ +Cap+ dark red, 1 to 3 inches broad, granulated, convex, with a slight mound or umbo, margin turned upward, flesh yellow. +Stem+ 1/2 inch long, yellow. Tubes lemon color, angular and round, irregular. The stem in our specimen was granulated like the cap. +BOLETUS CHROMAPES = chrome yellow and foot.+ +The Chrome-footed Boletus.+ +Cap+ tawny red, 2 to 4 inches broad, convex or nearly plane, flesh white. Tubes almost attached (subadnate), depressed around the stem, whitish, turning a pinkish-brown color. +Stem+ equal or tapering upward, rough whitish color, with reddish specks upon it, but chrome yellow at the base, both outside and inside, and spongy within. Stem 2 to 4 inches long, about 1/2 inch thick. This is not a hard boletus to distinguish on account of the yellow color at the base of the stem. The Boleti seem to be most abundant from the beginning of July until early in September. There are many varieties of beautiful colors, and they are a most interesting group, especially to beginners. This may be partly owing to the fact that Professor Peck's pamphlet on "Boleti" is clearly expressed, and the descriptions so vivid and plain that one has less trouble in naming them than any other class of fungi. +HYGROPHORUS MINEATUS = vermilion.+ +The Vermilion Hygophorus.+ +Cap+ 1 inch broad, at first vermilion color and then paler, broad, flattened and then even, depressed in centre by the margin becoming elevated. It is thin and fragile at first, even, smooth, and then scaly. +Stem+ from 1 to 2 inches long, slender, 1 line thick, a little paler than the cap, equal, round, somewhat stuffed, smooth, shining. +Gills+ attached, seldom decurrent, distant, distinct, yellow color, shaded with red. This species is very fragile. It grows in woods or in open country, on mosses or on dead leaves. It may be caespitose, or grows singly from July to October. +HYGROPHORUS COCCINEUS = scarlet color.+ +The Scarlet Hygrophorus.+ +Cap+, first bright scarlet and then changing to a paler hue. One to 2 inches broad and even more, convex, plane, often unequal, obtuse, sticky, and even, smooth, flesh of the same color as cap. +Stem+ 2 inches long, 3 to 4 lines thick, hollow, then compressed and rather even, scarlet color like cap, but always yellow at the base. +Gills+
