FLESHY AGARIC. 



TAB. CXLVI. 



THE root is hard, tough, and furnifhed with fliort downy 

 fibres. 



The ftem is very fliort, increafing in thicknefs from the bot- 

 tom upwards. There is no curtain. 



The gills are in three feries, very narrow, as at B. numerous, 

 of a pale kind of buff-colour, and decurrent. 



The pileus is flat or hollowed, convex or funnel -fliaped, ac- 

 cording to the age of the Plant, as at A. B. C. E. F. It is fome- 

 times halved or defective on one fide, as at D. The furface is 

 fmooth and foft, feels to the touch like fine woollen cloth ; is of 

 a pale brownifh afli colour, in the middle part ; which colour is 

 loft in a pale violet hue at the rim, which is remarkably rolled 

 in. The fubftance of the flefli is white, very firm and folid. 



Grew on flumps of trees va. North owram, in Auguft, 1791; 



elfewhere I have not feen it. 1 find no figure or defcription 



which well agrees with this fpecies.
