Lady ARDEN feems thcfirrt difcovercr of this plant 

 in England. Ilcr Lad) Ihip gathered them in Nork- 

 Park, and favoured me with frefh fpecimens in Oftober 

 and November lait. If Dr. Withering had feen this 

 plant, he would have efteemed SchaefFer's tab. above 

 quoted one of his bell figures, not a bad figure of A. 

 eburneiis. When frefh this fungus is beautifully white, 

 the/)/7^z/j glutinous and fliining: it is befpangled with 

 dew-drops on the upper part of the folic! but pithy 

 Itipes : when advanced it becomes cupped, and in de- 

 caying or when bruifed acquires patches of a bright 

 flame-coloured or fcorched appearance, finally turn- 

 ing to a reddilh or foxy brown ; it has a faint plcafant 

 odour.
