Woods and heaths. Hare. Sept. Piirton " *S'/e?« short, attenuated, 



paler than the {)ileus, white within, Fileus regnhu', often plano-disci- 

 forni, viscid, firm, margin at length unrolled. GUIs dirty white, yellow 

 or flefth colour." Fr. l. c. The account of A. iorminosiis and A. Neratur 

 is somewhat confused in the Midland Flora, but after a careful consider- 

 ation of it, as well as of a MSS. now before me, it appears quite certain 

 that Mr. Purton's A. Necator is the real A. turniiiiusus, as he quotes 

 Bull. t. 5'29.f. 2 ! !, though not so sure whether he has ever found the real 

 A. Necator. His account, however, as regards the surface of the pileus, 

 agrees with that of Bulliard, who describes and figures it not only as 

 ciliated on the border, but as having the whole surface tufted. 1 feel 

 myself therefore bound to insert it.'

Plantations and heaths. Aug. — Oct. Rare. Edgbaston. Withering. 

 Kinnordy. Garscube, Scot. Klotzsch in Houk. Herb. — " Pileus 2 — 3 

 inches broad, nearly plane, rufescent from cinereous with brown zones. 

 Milk at first while. Stem H inch high, pale." Fr. I. c. As there is a 

 species with the specific name oi'lnridus in the subgenus Tricholoma, 

 it is necessary to alter that of Persoon and Fries, I have therefore 

 restored Withering's name. 



55. A. dcris, Bolt, (acrid milhy Agaric) ; pileus viscid not 

 zoned sooty-cinereous, gills yellow, milk turning red, stem 

 stuffed. Bolt. t. 60. With. v. 4. p, 166. Fr. Sysf. Myc, v. 1.

Woods. Aug. — Nov. Near Halifax. Bolton. Grounds of C. Lyell, 

 Esq. Kinnordy, Scotland. Klotzsch, in Hook. Herb. — " Pileus almost 

 always excentric, emarginate, unequal, livid brown. Gills rather distant. 

 Stem attenuated downwards, short, i)allid. Milk extremely acrid, dirty 

 white, then rose-coloured, then yellowish ; seldom unchangeable." Fr. 

 I. c. 1 find a state of this scarcely excentric, and viscitl only when 

 young. The milk undergoes precisely the same changes, but ai)[)arently 

 with much less intensity.
