BELTED AGARIC. 



TAB. CLir. 



THE root is fmall, round, hard, firm, and furnilhed with 

 numerous fibres. 



The ftem is cylindrical, tall, of a dull fufcous colour, both 

 within and without ; it is hollow, and fplits in long brown fila- 

 ments. 



The gills are arranged in three feries ; they are very broad in 

 the middle, and diminiih to each extremity ; the colour is a dufky 

 black, the fubifance tender and brittle. 



The pileus is convex ; it is a kind of red deer colour, with a 

 broad belt of a dark brown, which colour is not only on the fur- 

 face, but penetrates the whole fubftance of the pileus, as is fhewn 



in the half figure on the plate. In young plants the marginal 



light circle is wanting, as the fmalleft figure reprefents. 



Grows on dunghills, after rain, in June and July. I gathered 

 the fpecimen, here figured and defcribed, June the 25th, 1789.
