AGARICUS coNGREGATus. With. ed. 3. 280. 



A VERY common Agaric about flumps and gate- 

 pofts, nearly allied to A. Jimetarius, tab. 188 of this 

 work, and differing chiefly in the longitudinal flrice on 

 the pileus, as well as in being generally of a fox colour.

 A. fimetarius above mentioned.

 continuing more than twelve hours. Is it not the 

 A. moment aneus of With. 294?
