BRANCHED LONG-ROOTED AGARIC. 



TAB. CXLVIII. 



/ T~ S HE root is long and taper, of a dufky buff colour, emitting 

 ■*■ a few foft t downy fibres from its fides ; at the head it di- 

 vides into many footftalks, which are long, cylindrical, folid, 

 fmooth, of a pale dufky yellow or buff colour, both within and 

 without, and eafily fplits in fine filaments. 



The curtain is light, delicate, of [a pale yellow, and foon 

 vanifhes. 



The gills are arranged in three feries, narrow arched, of a 

 pale yellow, and adhere to the top of the ftem by a narrow bafe. 



The pileus is convex, of a pale yellow colour near the mar- 

 gin ; the centre fulvous-coloured ; it is of a thin fubftance, 

 almoft deftitute of fiefh. 



The plant varies much in bignefs, according to its age ; all the 

 figures are the natural fize. It is a rare fpecies. I gathered it in 

 the plantations at Fixby-Hall, and it has been fent me from Dar» 

 li?tgton.
