COTTONY LYCOPERDON. 



TAB. CLXXVIII. 



'Tf^HIS Lycoperdon is very various in fhape; it is moft fre- 

 •*■ quently turbinated, and fupported on a flender ftem, as is 

 fhewn in the upper figure on the plate. Sometimes it is perfectly 

 feffile, efpecially while young ; in another flate, the pileus is glo- 

 bular, and fupported on a lengthened ftem, which is bellied, fome- 

 thing like a narrow pitcher, as the lower figure reprefents. In 

 both ftates it is of a fair white while young, but in the progrefs of 

 growth changes to a dufky brown -, the furface is foft and downy. 



The fmall figures are the natural fize ; the two fections are 

 magnified. 



The two may poffibly be diftincT: fpecies ; but as I have found 

 them growing at the fame time and place, and never on any other 

 fubftance than the putrid hoofs of beafls, I have comprehended 

 them both under one.
