19. A. Melleus, Vahl. Berk., t. 4, fig. 1. A most abundant 

 species, varying much in form, size, and colour, covering the ground 

 and herbage around it with its white spores, said to be eatable. 

 Dr. Badham says, " it is a nauseous, disagreeable fungus however 

 cooked," and its " taste is harsh and styptic." A small piece no 

 larger than a sixpence, being chewed, produced a cold sensation to 

 the mouth and throat, which lasted some time, and was followed by 

 a roughness of the larynx continuing two or three hours. The 

 name Melleus is given to it on account of its honey colour.
