Mr. Bulliard has figured what he has called Agaricus cornu- 
- copioides, see pl. 208, different from the above though of a 
dead brown colour, but the gills are branched, and the hollow ~- 
of the pileus extends down to the root, so that there is properly 
no stem, or if you had rather, say no pileus, the . se 
the hollow stem at its top supplying the place of a pileus, and 
bearing the gill-like veins on its outer side. This plant seems 
decidedly a Merulius. Ag. cornucopioides. Bolt.
