OT very rare, but fometimes fo varying from the 

 common charadler as not readily to be difl:inguillied, 

 though certainly a di^ftinit fpecies, and by no means 

 related to A. clypeolarius, as Dr. Withering feems to 

 intimate. I have found it in Lord Mansfield's woods, 

 Harapiiead, in woods in Norfolk, on Mouiliold heath 

 near Norwich, and other places.

Champignons are well known to be ufed in 

 fauces and made difhes in many parts of England, as 

 well as on the Continent. Bulliard dillinguiflies two 

 forts, which appear to me to be varieties, depending 

 on foil or other circumltances. They grow in mea- 

 dows, heaths, road-fides, banks, &c. in moft feafons, 

 after rain plentifully ; always tending to form circles 

 or fairy-rings as they are called. 1 he dilferent fpe- 

 cimens vary a little in colour from a light to a deep 

 buff. The pileus is fomewhat convex ; the lamellx» 

 not numerons ; the Ifipes feldom quite fmooth ; the 

 whole plant inclining to a leathery texture. This 

 fpecies is fometimes called the Scotch bonnet. See 

 Rail Syn. p. 6. ;?. 27. It frequently has an agreeable 

 odour like almond kernels.
