 AGARICUS cLYPEoLARius With. v. 3. 379. 



1 H I S occurs frequently in woods and fir plantations 

 in damp weather. It certainly includes the A. meka- 

 gris of Withering. The ring is occafionally wanting, 

 nor can I call it permanent. 



Many Agarics have, like this, a loofe pith, but fo 

 tender it often flides along with the blade of the in- 

 ftrument ufed to divide the flalk. 



TAB. X\\ 

 HYDNUM Daviesii. 



A RARE fpecies, hitherto I believe difcovered only 

 by the Rev. Mr. Hugh Davies, on a decaying apple-tree 

 in Llyfdulas garden Anglefea, 1790, from whom I have 

 been favoured with excellent and well preferved fpe- 

 cimens. It much refembles Boletus verjicolor in colour 

 and texture, and by the upper furface might be mif- 

 taken for that fungus.
