 , . The PiltriiSy at its iiill appearance, is feiTilej nearly 

 .- .. fpha;rical, ipringing trom a Volva. 



The tlalk, when full grown, is white or grey, a 

 finger thick, from four to fix inches high, bul- 

 bous at the bafe, and furrounded in the middle 

 with a white membranaceous ring, which con- 

 tinues without falling off. 

 The Pilcus is of a dull grey color, fpotted over 

 with white warts, of a convex or nearly hemi- 

 fpherical figure when half grown, but almofl: 

 fiat when old, and three or four inches in dia- 

 meter. 

 The gills are v^hite, and the whole fubftance ; 

 flefliy and brittle. 

 - It is very nearly related to the A. raufcarius, and 

 perhaps may be only a variety differing in 

 color. Like diat it varies fometimes without 

 warts. See Schaffer. tab. 24.1.
