191. Agaricus (Amahita) ananeceps ; n. s. ; pileo amplo convexo 
glabro nitido, centro areolato ; areolis verruca conica obsessis ; mar- - 
gine levi sed volva appendiculato ; stipite elongato marginato- 
bulboso versus lamellas in stipitem porrectas incrassato; velo mox 
obliterato. Gunn, No. 1777, 1805. 
Has. Penguite; on the ground. March. 
Pileus three and a half to four inches across, convex, quite 
smooth and shining, areolate in the centre, each area producing 
an angular conical wart; sometimes however, the divisions are 
not distinctly marked, but there is simply a smooth space between 
the warts; margin even, in half-grown individuals appendiculate. 
Stem three inches or more high, half an inch thick in the 
centre, strongly bulbous below, incrassated above, at first furfura- 
ceous, but at length smooth. Veil soon vanishing. 
Gills moderately broad, attenuated behind, and forming raised - 
lines for a short distance on the stem. 
Very nearly allied to A. nitidus, Fries, but differing in its 
longer stem, and in well developed individuals in its distinctly 
areolate surface, giving it the resemblance of a pine-apple, from 
whence its name is derived, | |

bus glabris pallidis dense cæspitosis; stipitibus utplurimum 
centralibus deorsum attenuatis subsericeis, supra e lamellis latius- 
culis integris descendentibus lineatis. Gunn, No. 1361. 
Has. On roots of trees. Oct., 1845, and abundant in the
