 Dr. Withering liiys), willealih' diltinguilh this fpccies. 

 It has a plealant odour like that of apricots, both when 

 recent and when partly diy, as we obferved in Ibme 

 fpecimens communicated by Lady Arden. This kind 

 of Agaric is frecpienth eaten, though it often proves 

 rather tough.

When I firlt found this fungus in Peckham-wood, 

 Nov. t6, 1794 the trivial name above given readily 

 prefented itfelf as veiy apphcable; and although not 

 perhaps llridly according to ride, being fo near that 

 of the jneceding fpecies, I have ventured to retain it, 

 as it hatl likewilc occurred to Mr. Bulliard. I believe 

 this Agaric has not been noticed as an Englifli plant 

 till now. As to its genus, we muft leave the ablblute 

 decifion of that point till we have more light on the 

 fubjcct. 



It may be proper to obferve that Bulliard has alfo 

 an Agar'icus cantharelloides, which appears to me a 

 blark-rtalkcd variety of A. Canthanilus.

1 HIS is among the more variable kinds. The fialk 

 is occafionally folid, i)ithy or hollow, and externally 

 fmooth or hif])id. The gills are fomctimes fixed to 

 the llalk, fometimes loofe, and they are often branch- 

 ing or even inofculating. Their colour is always 

 white, or nearly fo, but they acquire a pink hue in 

 drying. The Italk, as well as the pilcus., varies in co- 

 lour from nearly white to a chefnut brown. Some- 

 times it much refembles the A. velntipcs, except in
