Pileus 5| inches across. mtric, pulvinate, wrinkled

firm, white, 1 inch thick ; margin undulated, abruptly incurved ; 



.emely short, thick, solid and fleshy] gills narrow,

As this appears to be the plant of Persoon, which is little 

 known, we have given a description drawn up from Sprague J s 

 copious notes, which are accompanied by an exceller t 



U like that of fresh potatoes, or somewhat acid and fruity, 

 so strong as to scent the whole room.
