AGARICUS. 



Ecciiia. 480. A. Parkensis Fr. Pileus scarcely 2.5 cent, (i in.) broad, 



fuscous when moist, blackish when dry, by no means hygrophan- 

 ous, membranaceous, piano - convex, 

 deeply umbilicate, very smooth (by no 

 means fibrillose), slightly striate to the 

 middle. Stem short, scarcely 2.5 cent, 

 (i in.) long, not 2 mm. (i lin.) thick, fis- 

 tulose, attenuated downwards, smooth, 

 not dotted, fuscous. Gills decurrent, 

 crowded, distinct, linear and almost 2 

 mm. (i lin.) broad, whitish then be- 

 coming dingy flesh-colour. 



A very remarkable species, of which it is 

 difficult to indicate the nearest affinity. Easily 

 distinguished from neighbouring species by 

 the pileus not becoming pale with dryness. 



In grassy places. Elmhurst, &c.

481. A. carneo-griseus B. & Br. Pileus grey-flesh-colour, um- 

 bilicate, striate, delicately dotted, margin slightly glittering with 

 dark particles. Stem slender, fibrous-hollow upwards, of the same 

 colour as the pileus, shining, smooth, white-tomentose at the base. 

 Gills adnato-decurrent, somewhat undulated, distant, rosy, the 

 irregular margin darker. 



Its closest ally is A. atrides, from which it differs in the smooth stem, deli- 

 cate colour, &c. Spores irregular.

482. A. griseo-rubellus Lasch. Pileus 2.5 cent, (i in.) or a 

 little more broad, hygrophanous, umber or fuscous when moist, 

 grey when dry, membranaceous, deeply umbilicate, at first convex 

 at the circumference, then plane, striate. Stem 5 cent. (2 in.) long, 

 2 mm. (i lin.) thick, fistulose, equal, smooth, somewhat naked, of 

 the same colour as the pileus or a little paler. Gills slightly de- 

 current, somewhat distant, grey then flesh-colour. 



Specimens have been gathered a little smaller and paler, with the stein 2.5 

 cent, (i in.) long and thinner, and the gills whitish then flesh-colour.
