All the family to which A. lobatus belongs, are more or less pleasing, some strikingly so, like elegant 

 wine-glasses with the lip turned over; agreeable from purity of colour and texture, many are valuable es- 

 culents. We know of no use for A. lobatus, and as it is so seldom met with, we may be thankful that its 

 utility is worse than doubtful, for if desirable it might long be sought in vain. Those things which a kind 

 Providence has made needful, are generally plentiful — generally such as by industrious skill we can increase 

 and multiply — generally such as reward our labour by improved succulence and nutritive value, and not, 

 like our gipsy Agarics, untameable.
