CINNAMON-COLOURED AGARIC. 



TAB. CL. 



THE root is round, of a hard tough fubftance, and furnifhed 

 with fhort brown fibres. 



The ftem is cylindrical, of a duiky gold colour, and hollow 

 within; it eafily fplits in yellow filaments, and varies in height 

 from two to four inches. 



The gills are in three feries ; the bafe very broad, rounded off, 

 and not adhering totheflem; they are remote, narrow towards 

 the point, and of a ftrong golden red. 



The pileus is at firft hemifpherical, a little elevated in the 

 centre j when full grown becomes nearly flat, the rim fmooth and 

 acute ; the colour a dark browiih red or ftrong cinnamon ; the 

 furface appears filky, is fmooth and dry. 



Grows in woods about Halifax, but is rare. 



I believe this plant to be the true Agaricus cinnamoneus of 

 LiNNiEUS ; and it feems fpecifically diftincl: from my cinna- 

 moneus, T. 22. I had not feen this fpecies when I gave the 

 name to that j and as that does not materially differ from the cin- 

 namoneus, I would call it pfcudo-cinnamonens for the future.
