CRYPTGGAMIA FUNGI. 1013 



Milky Agaric. AngJis. 



In v'/oods frequent. We obferv'd in at Blair in 



Jtho!^ at Buplin near Perth, &c. IX. 

 The flalk is about two or three inches high, firm 

 and folid, of a finger's thicknefs, and generally 

 of a reddilli brown color. The Pileus is nearly 

 of the fame color as the flalk, from one to 

 four inches in diameter, fmooth or flightly vil- 

 lofe, the centre deprelTed, the rim deflex'd. 

 The gills are ufually of the fame colour with 

 the Pile-is, and both when wounded yield a 

 white milky juice, of a mild inoffenfive tafle, 

 very obvious in the younger plants, but fcarcely 

 vifible in the old ones. 

 This is reputed to be one of the belt kinds for 

 the table, though never, I believe, eaten in 

 Evgland. 

 I Halkr makes this and the A. delidofiis Lin. to be 



only varieties of each other. This lall however 

 f bleeds v;ith a yellow or faffron juice, and the 



!'■ Pileus is villofe, and mark'd with alternate con- 



centric circles of paler and darker colors. 

 This we do not remember to have yet found 

 m Britain. See its fig. Sckcef. t. ii, 12, opt.
