SPHtERIA agariciformis. Bolt. 130. 



1 HAVE only feen one fpecimen of this fungus, for 

 which I am obliged to the Rev. Mr. Francis, whofe 

 lady found it at Holt in Norfolk. Being gathered too 

 haftily, fo as to be broken from the root, it was con- 

 fequently imperfe6t ; and infects having made it more 

 fo in my herbarium, I am unwilling not to figure it 

 while there are fome remains to identify fo rare a 

 fpecies, which with the help of Mr. Bolton's figures 

 I am enabled to do. The bafe is like a Lyc9.perdon ; the 

 ftipes fiftular, yellowifh and fmooth ; the head oval or 

 egg-fhaped, brown, and fo fmooth on the outfide that 

 the mouths of the imbedded fphaerulae are fcarcely 

 perceptible.
