TAB. CXXXIX. 



/ "T~ A HE root is grofs, and has a kind of broken annular wrin- 

 ■*• kles ; it is of a firm folid fubftance, white, of a pale flefli 

 colour on the outfide, furnilhed with brown fibres, and deftitute 

 of volva. 



The ftem is flaort, upright, round and folid, white within, 

 and of a fpongy fubflance. 



The gills are white, foft, very delicate, of an oblong figure, 

 and adhere by a fmall claw to the top of the ftem. 



The pileus is convex ; the margin inflected, fmooth and en- 

 tire; the furface covered with angular warts, of various fides, 

 which are of the fame red colour as the pileus, except the fum- 

 mits, which are dufky ; the internal fubftance is brittle, fpongy 

 and white. 



This fpecies I gathered in a dry gravelly foil, near Lee-Bridge, 

 June the 1 2th, 1790.
