folk. Mr. Woopwarp. Willow trees, Powick, near Worces- 
ter, Mr. Sracxnoust. | 
AG. (Lixn.) Gills reddish yellow, to reddish brown, 
numerous, thin, very much branched : pileus pale 
brown buff, cottony ; irregularly semi-circular. 
Ag. acaulis, coriaceus villosus, margine obtuso, lemellis 
anastomosantibus, F/, swec. 
Bull. 346, the four lower figures—Bull, 394—Balt, 72. 1- 
Buxb. v. 6-Fl. dan. 776.1—Bull. 537, seems to represent 
specimens of this and alsa of the Ag. quercinus. 
Giuis in the younger plant 4 ina set, light brown, sometimes 
branched. 
Pitevs thin, when young fixed to the wood on which it grows, 
the gills being uppermost; it then separates from the 
wood and turns up, as is more particularly explained in 
speaking of the Ag. quercinus, This, now upper part, 
is brown, or greenish, and woolly, consisting of concen. 
tric circles formed in ridges, It is apt to contain blades 
of grass, or bits of sticks, perforating its substance, 
which only could have happened in its soft state. 
Stem none. Rather leathery than fleshy ; belts variable, some 
more woolly. ao : 
Gills firm, seldom inosculating. Linn. Pileus always vil- 
lose, and marked with concentric circles. Gé/s irregular, va- 
tiously branched, but not forming lacunz as in the Ag. querci- 
nus. Bulliard 394 belongs to this species, and probably Scheff. 
57. It has been confounded with the Ag. quercinus, by sup- 
posing it to be that species in its young state. Mr, Woopwarp, 
Lobes elliptical, tiled, from 1 to 2 inches over, chesnut brown, | 
in shades, with concentric wavy circlesy very velvety to the 
touch, of a woody substance, Gills shallow, whitish, thick.
