and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
Dr. Withering enumerates three varieties, one of which affords, from every part of it when wounded, a 
copious discharge of yellow acrid juice. They are gathered in woods and dry pastures in September and 
October. 
Losel asserts in his Flora Prussica, p. 82., that " the juice of A. piperatus, mixed with the syrup of mallows, 
is a certain cure for calculus, and a powerful diuretic." Almost all the venemous fungi, and especially those 
of the present group, are said to be the favorite food of the goat, during the rutting season. It is sometimes 
monstrous and irregular. Withering mentions their attaining the diameter of ten inches. The stipes is not 
unfrequently thicker than it is long. It has been used in medicine, and thought useful in dissolving calculi ; 
a property we may safely venture to deny it. 
§ 8. Clitocybe. From xXito?, inclined, and y..v^v\, a head. Most of the species are harmless, and of the larger 
size. A. nebularis is eatable, so also is A. fusipes. A. giganteus is one of the species which form those circles 
known by the name of Fairy-rings, the origin of which is still as obscure as ever. 
A. orcades has loose gills, with the part attached to the pileus jutting up very close to the stem, so as to give
