Commonly found in a lefs luxuriant ftate than re- 

 prefented, yet often larger. This variety of propor- 

 tions has given it fo many appearances, that it is eafily 

 enough taken for different fpecies. It is A. aciimina- 

 tus of SchaefF. when the pileus is found acuminated, 

 which is not uncommon ; A. cUiaris of Bolt, when oc- 

 cafionally lacerated ; A- femiovatus of Dr. Withering, 

 when the plant is neareft to perfection in all its parts . 

 The gills are, in the beginning, edged with a white 

 farina, or powder; by degrees they become mottled with 

 brown, and finally black, when they are feen to be 

 double, and compofed of capillary tubes, which deli- 

 quefce along with the black feed. In a perfect ftate, 

 it has an annulus, and is moft plentiful in moift mea- 

 dows, on dung, in fpring and autumn. On a dewy 

 morning the pileus is covered with a moifture, through 

 which it fliines with a beautiful fparkling luflre.
