AGARICUS vuLPiNUS. 



r OUND at Iflington in a hollow elm. It was quite 

 feffile, the gills reaching to the tree on which it grew. 

 The pileus is thickifli, very rough on the furface, and 

 fomewhat of a fox-colour.

AGARICUS PLANUS. 



1 HIS curious Agaric was fent by the Rev. Dr. Abbot 

 of Bedford. There is nothing particularly ftriking in 

 its appearance till we come to look at the gills, the 

 edges of which are obtufe or flattifh ; from whence 

 hangs a loofe powder, appearing, when magnified, to 

 confift of minute, round, pellucid globules. The reft 

 of the gills is compofed of two leries of ovate and 

 fomewhat fnufF-coloured veficles.

\v E prefume this is t\ie, Agaricus fordidus of T>ic\ii:on, 

 and the name accords well with it when gathered in a 

 wet ftate. In dry weather its furface is fatiny, and 

 agrees well with A.Jericeus of Bulliard and A. rufus of 

 Withering. It varies both as to the pileus and Jiipes^ 

 and is either of a yellowifh, brown, or greyifh colour, 

 and often comes very near to 1. 161. of this work. The 

 gills of each are fometimes fcarcely fixed.

AGARICUS PLicATiLis. Curt. 200. 



This Aganc may be beft known in its latter ftate, 

 when the gills are moft diftant from the Jlipes, leaving 

 a ring round it : at the fame time the centre of the 

 pileus becomes deprefled. The reft is plaited, and the 

 ridges rife above the centre. The gills are few, fre- 

 quently only one at each plait.
