 Abundant on the downs. An excellent Agaric for the table. Dr. 

 Badham says, " it should be eaten the day it is gathered, either 

 stewed, broiled, or fried with egg and bread crumbs like cutlets." 

 It is very good stewed with cream and flour, and seasoned with 

 pepper and salt.

112. A. Parkensis, Fr. It came up in abundance in August, 

 1865, on a bank in the garden at Elmhurst, Batheaston, but has 

 not appeared since. A. Cupularis, Fr , Kromb., t. 3., figs. 15-18, 

 resembles this species closely, and its gills seem scarcely to belong 

 to a white-spored species.
