AGARICUS SURRECTUS. 



Agaricus Surrectus. 



another (agaricus caseus), which has a uniform foot- 

 stalk, though not of common occurrence. Thus a plant, 



Slipes solid, tapering upwards, rather thick immediately below 

 the pileus, three inches high, thick as a reed, white, and often 

 downy, wrapper at the base. 



Many of this species of singular plant I found in October, 1819, 

 springing from a confluent mass of a. caseus. Bolton's a. pulvinatus 

 is something like our plant ; but he describes his under side as per- 

 fectly flat, and represents a singularity in the termination of his la- 

 minae, which is not observable in our a. surrectus.
