AGARICUS PUBESCENs. Fl Dan. 1073. 



Is always of a fiiowy white, and grows on rotten 

 wood, in damp places, vmder the bark of decaying 

 trees. The minutenefs of this Fungus, and its fre- 

 quently being found, in a young pubefcent ftate, 

 without gills, may have caufed it to have been over- 

 looked; and indeed the gills are feldom to be feen 

 without clofe examination. They are few^ in number, 

 not very prominent, and generally in pairs. Thofe 

 in Fl. Dan. are larger fpccimens. 



T A B. CCCXXIl. 

 AGARICUS MURALis. 



W E do not find this plant anyw here taken notice of, 

 though extremely common on old walls, &c. With 

 regard to its general form, it is very fportive. The 

 pileus is fometimes contraded, and at other times 

 very large in proportion to the relf of the plant. The 

 gills join the Hem, which is nearly cylindrical 

 and more or lefs curved. The whole plant is of a 

 foxy brown, but the gills are paler and yellower. 

 This is often accompanied by another Agaric, which 

 is fometimes paler, or even totally white, and in form 

 more clumfy, though we at prefent imagine it not 

 to be a different fpecies.

AGARICUS RiMOsus. Bull. 388. 



W E have found this in many places ; but in England 

 it feldom appears to affume the dry ftate, as figured 

 fo excellently in BuUiard. Even when young the 

 chefnut fkin of the pileus is difpofed to crack, and 

 prettily fliows the lighter parts between. In age the 

 whole plant affumes a paler colour. The gills are 

 of a yellowifli olive brown. The ftipes is fomewhat 

 lighter, generally folid, and fometimes bulbous.
