CltYPTOGAMIA FUNGI. 165 



shaped; gills whitish, very numerous, narrow. WITH. iv. 190. 

 Sow. Fung. t. 245. Ag. plumleus, GREV. Fl. Edin. 374. 



Hob. Woods. Blackadder plantations. Wooded banks of 

 the Dye at Longformacus. Autumn. 



Stalk short, thick, bluish-grey, smooth, rarely exactly cen- 

 tral, narrowed at the base, hollow at least when old. Pi- 

 leus bluish-grey, varnished, depressed in the centre, be- 

 coming funnel-shaped, with an even, circular, frequently 

 inflected margin. Gills white, very numerous, decurrent, 

 rather narrow, 4 in a set. Flesh white, with a milky, 

 acrid, and very nauseous juice. Length of the stalk 1 \ or 

 2 inches ; diameter \ to 1 inch. Diameter of the pileus 

 from 2 to 4 inches. The trivial name plumbeus is very 

 expressive of the colour of this agaric, but I feel unwilling 

 to relinquish that of Dr WITHERING, because it has the 

 claim of priority, and because it commemorates Dr LISTER, 

 physician to Queen ANNE, a man of such eminence in 

 science, that naturalists may be proud to reckon him in 

 their number. 



6. A. Celicioides, " pileus tomentose, dingy pale reddish or sal- 

 mon colour ; lamella yellowish ; stipes robust, partly hollow." 



GREV. Fl. Edin. 373. 



Hab. Amongst some natural wood on the banks of the 

 Dye at Longformacus. Autumn. 



Stalk about 3 inches high, thick, cylindrical, straight, flesh- 

 red, hollow when old. Pileus funnel-shaped, regular, 

 fawn, with a darker centre, very shaggy all over, the marl 

 gin circular and inflected. Gills light fawn, numerous, 

 not broad, 4 in a set, apparently decurrent. Flesh white^ 

 with a scanty milky juice. I have seen no figure of this 

 large and fine species, but it answers very well to Dr 

 GREVILLE'S description. The two larger figures of Ag. 

 torminosus in tab. 103. of SOWERBY'S Fungi, will give a 

 tolerably correct idea of it, nor, indeed, do I think it dis- 

 tinct from that plant, which is the Ag. piperatus of WI- 

 THERING, iv. 205. 



ft Gills fixed. 



7. A. elephantimiSy " gills yellowish-white, fleshy, wide apart, 

 4 in a set ; pileus brown-yellow, changing to black and cracking ; 

 .stem white," very thick WITH. iv. 232. Sow. Fung. t. 36.
