^ 18. Telamonia. So named on account of their gigantic stature. The species are among Agarics what Ajax 
Telamonius was among men. Large, terrestrial, firm species, none of which are eaten. The species of this and 
the next subgenus are extremely difficult to determine ; not only on account of their size, but of their colors, 
which vary exceedingly at different periods of their growth, as well as according to their situation. Their colors 
are also intermediate between fulvous, testaceous, cinnamon, &c., which are very difficult to describe The most 
constant marks are, first, smell; second, surface of pileus being fibrous or viscid; third, the situation of the 
lamellffi, whether they are compact or distant ; and fourth, their color in the young state, in which it must be 
observed, that they are always described. 
The A. buU)osus of Hudson and Ray is referred by Withering to A. violaceus of Linnsus ; which has fixed 
purple gills, numerous, eight in a set ; long gills, sometimes cloven, and a few of them decurrent : purple pileus, 
soft, smooth, firm, convex, but centrally depressed with age, and cracking at the edge, which is somewhat 
turned down, from half an inch to five inches over : stem solid, cylindrical, purple, bulbous at the base, from 
one to four inches high, and from a quarter to one inch in diameter; and curtain like a cobweb. In maturity 
it plentifully emits a powder of the color of Spanish snuff! It is not uncommon from October to December, 
in Edgbaston and Barr plantations, in the woods near Bath, and at Powick, near Worcester. With murfi 
broiling and duly seasoned, it is esteemed as delicious as an oyster. Another variety, which is the A. varius of 
JJolton, is found on grass-plats and new-mown fields in July. It has chocolate gills, from brown to black.
