This H-iould feem to be A. piper atus of Dr. Wither- 

 ing, p. 172, which he gives as the true A. piperatus of 

 Linn3eus ; but it is remarkable that we find no men- 

 tion of the branched gills, which are conftant in this 

 and the commonly received A. piperatus^ or A. Lijieri, 

 With 158. SchoefFer is not fo accurate with regard to 

 the gills ; otherwife his figures have a general very 

 good refemblance, though many were evidently done 

 from bad fpecimens. Ours feem to be pretty good 

 ones. His A. Jcrobiculatus^ t. 227, and A. crinitus^ 228,

 The fpecific difference feems to depend on the propor- 

 tions, and want of the beautiful reticulated fringe of 

 wool at the incurvatcd edge of the pileus ; neither are 

 the lamellae fo broad. This has always been thought

 us the contrary. An acrid milky fluid exudes copioufly 

 from it when wounded.

 autumn, fometimes very large. I have feen it in Nor- 

 folk with the pileus feven inches in diameter, and the 

 reft in proportion. It has a woolly or cobweb-like 

 annulus in the young flate, which is often entirely lofh 

 in advanced age. The gills are diftant and clumfy.
