‘When ah unexpanded button, the whole plant. is entirely 
white; or entirely yellowish. This. species, though so large and 
so remarkable, seems to have been overlooked. —Probably the 
‘dark burnt blotches upon the pileus may have caused it to be 
confounded with the Ag. adustus, before mentioned; or’with the 
Ag. elephantinus. The difference however of structure has sa- 
tistied me that it is not the former species. Major Velley very 
justly remarked to me, that the. viscid Agarics are much disposed 
_ to get dark tints. ‘This plant cannot be’ the Ag. viscidus of 5 
Mr. Hudson, for he cites, though doubrfully, Vaill. 62. ~. 14, 
which is a plant of nouncommon bulk or solidity. © The’ gills
