FAIRY AGARIC. 



TAB. CLI. 



'"TpHE root is flender, brown, and fibrous. 



The ftem fmooth, cylindrical, white, eafily fplit into white 

 filaments. 



The gills are regularly difpofed in three feries ; they are white 

 remote, broad in the middle, with a narrow bafe. 



The pileus fmooth, at firft conical, afterwards horizontal, and 

 in decay umbilicated ; at all times of a pretty buff-coloured 

 brown, very pale, particularly about the margin; a little darker 

 about the centre. 



This agaric is more frequent in thofe green circles which we 

 cajl fairy rings, than any other fpecies. It is alfo to be found in 

 paflure grounds, and about the borders of woods, in Auguft. and 

 September. 



This is not the only fpecies of agaric which we find in fairy 

 rings, but this grows moft frequently there.
