grey, fistulose, not sunk into the substance of the pileus. Gills pale, 
broad in front, attenuated behind, free, but searcely remote. Substance 
extremely delicate and spongy. Odour sweet. 
One of the most splendid of Agarics, allied to 4. procerus, but differ- 
ing in the stem not being sunk into the pileus, its smooth, not scaly 
surface, the continuous cuticle, which is very minutely warty, and 
more broadly umbonate, the thick volva-like coat at the base, and other 
points. In its early stage of growth it resembles very closely some | 
Amanite.

floccoso tuberculis gossypinis exasperato ; stipite valido clavato; annulo

Odour sweet. Pileus 5 inches across, dry, convex, subcampanulate, 
extremely fleshy in the centre, soft, floccose, rough, except towards the 
margin, with cottony tubercles. Stem 4 inches high, 14 inch thick, 
obese, but not truly bulbous, even, not warty. Veil very broad, attached 
to the top of the stem, fugacious. Gills broad, ventricose, free. - 
A magnificent species, allied to 4. Vittadini. I once found a single 
specimen of a very similar Agaric on a bank of earth in Northampton- - 
shire, but, unfortunately, neither drawing nor description was secured.

The specimens are evidently young. They are inodorous, dry, firm, 
and pulverulent, and the stem has a few rigid fibres, or fascicles of 
threads, which separate from it. The gills are adnato-decurrent. The 
colour is exactly that of 4. daccatus, with which species I believe the 
plant is clearly identical. In fact, the figure resembles very strongly 
Schæff. t. 223. :

There is a slight difference bm the Himalaya specimens and the 
European. In both the stem is white, attenuated at the base, hollow, 
and spotted with red when rubbed or injured; in both the pileus is 
very fleshy, and the gills narrow, crowded, and free; but in the former
