1 HE fdvery glare and opaque furface of the pileus 

 will generally diltinguilli this plant ; yet under par- 

 ticidar circumltances we have feen it without this 

 mark, when it occafionally reprefents A. infundibiiUfor- 

 mis, t. 286, and A. Jinibriatus, Bolt. t. 61. It is a veiy 

 common ])lant, growing in woods, on heaths. Sec. 

 and occafionally along with A. orcadeSy Mhich it re- 

 fembles in flavour, but is more watery and tender. 

 The opaq\ie glare ^vill eafd)" rub off when frelli, though 

 v. c ha\ e dried fpccimens that retain it.

 Ihining. It has a Ifrong mealy fmell, and difagrecable 

 taile. The gills invariably produce on their outer fur- 

 faces a pinky powder, in the advanced Ifate, and in 

 drying.
