 Fig. I. AGARICUS Tentaculum. Bull. 560.^.3. 



X HE great width of the lamellae where fixed to the 

 Itipes is the great charaderiftic of this Fungus, and I 

 am apt to think it a variety of the two following. 



Fig. 2 &: 3. a. adonis. Bull. 560. yfo-. 2 &? 3. 



THESE feem to have no fpecific difference, and are 

 Uke the iaft, except the lamellas and colour. 



Fig. 4. A. pumilus. Bull. 260. 

 THIS agrees with Bulliard's figures, except that the 

 flipes of ours is much longer, and the lamellae fome- 

 what darker in colour. 



Fig. 5. A. tenuis. Bull. 



BESIDES the attenuated length of the fhpes, the 

 lamellae are moftly narrow, and attenuated, and fcarcely 

 touch the upper part of the llipes. The firft four of 

 thefe I have occafionally found to have milky ftipes : 

 they are probably only varieties. The fifth is certainly 

 only a variety of A. varius figured in our tab. 222. 

 under the name of ^. poly gr animus. I have feen fpeci- 

 mens near a foot long in the flipes, with every appear- 

 ance the fame except fize, and fometimes with a root 

 of five or fix inches in addition.

Fig. I. SPH^RIA sphincterica. Bull. 



vV E find this curious Sphceria growing in a remark- 

 able manner on Lichen pertufus, fent by Mr. Brunton 

 jun. of Rippon in Yorkthire ; and by Mr. Borrer from 

 near Brighton in SufTex. It is parafitic in the fubflance 

 of the cruft of the Lichen, and protrudes from it, re- 

 fembling the natural fruilification fo much that it 

 might be eafily miftaken for it in a Lichen lefs known. 

 The hairs farrounding the mouth fometimes are 

 whitifh.
