TAB. CLIH. 



npHE root is fmall, hard, brown, and fibrous. 



The ftem is folid, and eafily fplits in fine white filky fila- 

 ments ; it is of a pure white both within and without ; the height 

 is about five inches in the fpecimen before me ; it is round, largefl 

 at the bafe, whence it decreafes gradually upwards ; there is no 

 volva or curtain. 



The gills are arranged in three feries, they are numerous, thin, 

 pliable, of an oblong figure, and white. 



The pileus is convex, the furface very fmooth, and feels like 

 vellum; the flefh is thin, and fpongy ; the colour, both within 

 and without, a fair milk white, except the apex, which is gently 

 tinged with a pale brown.

 Auguft the 1 2th, 1 791 . I have feen it elfe where in iheep 

 pailures.
