fibrlllose, firm, solid, dirty-white. Odour like that of fresh men!. I 

 cannot be quite sure that my plant is the same as Bolton's quoted 

 above, his figure being very indifferent ; but it is probably that of 

 Withering and Purton, though the latter seems to include A. pascuus, 

 and perhaps .some others. A. irrcjulwis. Bolt, is described as luiving 

 a hollow stem ; in other respects it appears very similar.

On rotten wood, sawdust, &c. Sept. — Oct. Apcthorpe, (with a 

 bright orange pileus). Cotterstock, King's ClifFe, Norths. — Solitary 

 or subgregarious, varying much in size and colour. Pileus 1 — 3 inches 

 broad, tawny-yellow, shaded with bright orange, or purplish-brown 

 tinged with yellow, umbonate ; fiesh thick in the centre, margin thin, 

 firm in the orange-coloured specimens, covered with a smooth wrinkled 

 glutinous epidermis ; sometimes pitted round the umbo, margin more 

 or less striate. Gills rather broad, rounded behind and in front, flesh- 

 coloured, moderately distant, perfectly free, the edge at first yellowish, 

 afterwards when drying up orange in the orange variety ; I could detect 

 no pellucid processes. Sporules rose-coloured, elliptic. Stem 2 — 3 

 inches high, 2 — G lines thick, downy at the base, sometimes rooting, 

 attenuated upwards, twisted and striate, yellow or ochraceous shaded 

 with orange, solid, or at length imperfectly hollow, composed of crisped 

 filaments. I have considered A. Icoiiinns, Schceff. mid A. j^yrrospe?'' 

 mus. Bull, as the same species, because Fries has done so, and I have 

 not had sufficient opportunities of observing Schocffer's plant to justify 

 me in calling his judgment into question. BuUiard's plant, however, 

 is differently coloured, watery and more tender ; the gills almost 

 deliquescent, and the stem of a full yellow, more equal and not so solid. 

 The orange variety, noticed above, is a most splendid Agaric, equalling 

 in richness of colour A. coccineus. 



210. A. repdndus, Bull, (not of Fr.), (coiic rose-gilled 

 Agaric); pileus conic fleshy imibonate, the margin incurved 

 and lobed, stem short solid. Bull. t. 423,/. 2.
