ZONED AGARIC. 



TAB. CXLIV. 



'T^HE root 'is hard, tough, and emits brown fibres. 



The Item cylindrical, while young folid, with age becomes 

 hollow, and is deftitute of curtain. 



The gills are in three feries, narrow, brittle, of a pale brick 

 colour, and when they, the ftem or pileus, are wounded, a yel- 

 low acrid milk flows copioufly from the wound. 



The pileus is at firfl: convex, afterwards becomes horizontal, 

 and laftly funnel-ihaped ; it is of a pale brick colour, marked 

 with concentric circles, of a darker colour. In fome fpecimens 

 the circles are very diflincT:, in others lefs fo, in fome fcarce per- 

 ceptible. In this laft Hate it nearly refembles the Agaricus 

 laBijluus, PI. 3. of this work, but is eafily diflinguifhed by its 

 milk, which in that is white, in this of a golden colour. 



Grows in Woodhonfe-Wood, but fparingly.
