1 HIS Agaric is liable to many different appearances 

 in form and colour, not however irreconcileable to 

 the nature of the Fungus tribe. It is not uncommon 

 on heaths and in meadows, Sec. growing to maturity 

 in two or three days. It may be bleached, or lighter 

 coloured, in dry or funny weather ; in damp weather 

 it becomes twifted and deformed ; occafionally the 

 moifture of the Fungus partly going off; the remainder 

 becomes black, and like charcoal. This lalf change is 

 very common, but does not always happen. 



The yellowifli figvire, which is fomewhat rugged, 

 has been called A.fiammeus. Hudfon called it A. den- 

 tatus, from Linnaeus, I believe ; but it is not at all a 

 conftant charader for the lamellae to be toothed. Their 

 colour is fometimes pinky, and they are mollly loofe. 

 The ftipes is either folid, pithy, or hollow.

 and lamellae. See fig. 249. Schaeff. Thus Holmflciold in 

 the Fungi Danici, thought it to be of the Clavaria tribe,
