AMANITA CITRINA, GON. AND RAB., A 

 FUNGUS NEW TO BRITAIN, IN EPPING

 Gonnermann and Rabenhorst in the Mycoiogia Europcva, p. 2, 

 tab. 4 (1869), from German specimens'. From that time up to

 instead of being crimson is a clear deep lemon-yellow, with white 

 patches. The species is very poisonous.

 and was fortunate enough to discover two specimens of Amanita
