Very common, and extremely variable. It has 

 been figured many times under ditferent names. We 

 have found it almoll white, partly flefli-coloured, 

 moufe-coloured, and nearly black ; varying in fize 

 from a Item half an inch long, and pileus in propor- 

 tion, to a much larger fize than is here rejirefented. 

 When young the gills are moftly white, changing to 

 pink in a few hours after gathering, or as it advances 

 in age, till it flieds a fnuff-coloured i)owder, the gills 

 then being brownifli. It is beft diftinguilhed by the 

 fomewhat ^^'ebbcd reticulated Item, which mark is 

 ahva\'s more or lefs jierccptiblc in this fpecies, and 

 inclines me to think it does not belong to A. I'olvaccus^ 

 as Dr. Withering feems to conjecfture. It certainly re- 

 femblcs it in many refpe<fts,as the volvaccus\2iV\esmwc\\. 

 Our plant dries well, although it is always flaccid. 

 A. volvaccus is apt to imbibe a moifture, and become 

 covered with whitenefs like a ByJJus, perhaps Bvffus 

 £iWus^ and is therefore much more difficult to dry.
