AGARICUS SUBCANTHARELLUS. 



JL HERE seemed a necessity for figuring this perhaps 

 unfavourable variety of Agaricus cantharelhis. It seems to 

 possess most of the characters belonging to that Fungus, yet 

 few persons recognize it; first, because it is always poor and 

 thin, and next, because it has rather an unpleasant odour; 

 whereas Ag. cantharelhis is thick and fleshy, generally 

 whiter within, and of a pleasant odour; see Description and 

 Tab. 46. It is not uncommon in our woods in Autumn.

AGARICUS FiBRosus. 



J. HIS elegant Fungus was sent me by Miss Rackett from 

 Keynston wood, near Spetisbury, Dorsetshire, in the autumn 

 of 1808. It does not agree with any species I remember to 

 have seen. The stipes is cracked, showing its fibrous tex- 

 ture; the pileus is somewhat fibrously striated on the upper 

 margin; it rises to an umbo, where it is a little cracked into 

 small tessera ; the umbo is of a full fox colour, and becomes 

 delicately lighter towards the edge ; it is internally whiter. 

 The lamella are rather deep, partly fixed by a kind of claw, 

 in three or four sets, deep fox colour; stipes pale, whitest at 

 the top and bottom, inclining to bulbous. The blush-colour 

 in the crack is the commencement of decay. The speci- 

 mens soon became covered with Mucor, which spread over 

 the gills and pileus very full and finely thready, sometimes 

 branching, and with little ovate vesicles, all of a light fawn 

 colour.

AGARICUS INCRASSATUS. 



1 RECEIVED this and others of a similar description by 

 the same favour as the last, August 16, 1810. The stipes 

 is ruggedly hollow, and in some more swoln than in the 

 figure; the lamella rather broad and thin, and in three or 

 four sets. Pileus thin, more or less of a pale fawn colour.
