a. fusca brown, pileus black, stipe bay-colored, becoming greyish when dried. original: "Afz. l. c. t. 10. f. 1."

b. cinerea grey, entirely grey. original: "Boletus leucophæus. Batt. fung. arim. p. 24. t. 3. f. B."

Solitary, rarely gregarious, entirely smooth, certainly different from the former. Stipe stuffed, 2 inches long, 4–5 lines thick, terete cylindrical, attenuated upward, marked with deep longitudinal furrows, with thin solid ribs, not lacunose-fistulose as in the preceding. Pileus deflexed, equally 2–3-lobed, compressed, smooth, darker when dried, adnate to the stipe on the inner side. Found on shaded soil in dewy places in forests, rare. In autumn. (seen icon)

β? H. pallescens pale, pale, stipe hollow. original: "Schæff. fung. IV. p. 114. t. 322."

I have added to Persoon's preceding H. sulcata a fungus which, regarding stature, is intermediate between H. infula and H. sulcata. It differs further from this by a firmer stipe, which is attenuated downward and smooth. Found on trunks in Bavaria. (seen icon)

** stipe smooth.

4. H. esculenta, pileus inflated, deformed, undulate, gyrose-rugose convoluted and wrinkled, brown, margin attached to the smooth villous stipe.

Porous fungus, commonly referring to the gyri folds of the intestines. original: "Menz. pug. t. 6. (icon prima, optima!)" original: "Weinm. herb. t. 523. f. J" original: "Elvella II. Gled meth. p. 39." original: "Elv. Mitra. Schæff. fung. t. 160.?" original: "H. esculenta. Pers. Comm. p. 64. Syn. p. 613." original: "A. S. p. 300!" original: "Tratt. essb. Schw. p. 161. t CC. bona!" original: "Phall. Mitra. Berg. Mat. Med. II. p. 870!"

Stipe whitish, soft, fragile, smooth, but uneven, angular, or compressed, 4–8 lines thick, covered with whitish villi fine hairs, inside spongily-stuffed or more often hollow. Pileus rounded, more rarely obscurely...
