MR GllEVlLLE ON THE 
Ag. anisatus, Pers, Ohs. My col. pars 1. p. 44. 
Gymnopus odorus. Gray's Nat Jrr. v. 1. p. 606. 
Hab. Woods, and fields in their neighbourhood. Au- 
tumn. Frequent. 
Desc. Plant fragrant, scattered, rarely subgregarious. 
Pileus 2-3 inches broad, convex, at length nearly 
plane, more or less umbonate, and of various shades 
of green, sometimes bluish-grey, and rarely near- 
ly white, smooth, subir regular, and somewhat fleshy. 
Lamella numerous, pale whitish or faint flesh-colour, 
rather narrow, and scarcely at all decurrent. Stem 
l-SJ inches long, about 2 lines thick, subflexuose, 
solid, firm, whitish or greenish. 
This species has a most agreeable smell, especially when 
drying, which strongly resembles that of dried woodroof, 
or new-mown hay ; and one variety has so mtich the odour 
of aniseed, that it has been called by some authors Ag. 
anisatus. Bulliard, who first described the species, has 
no observation on its qualities ; but Perscon declares it to 
be wholesome, though without entering into any details. 
This is the less to be regretted, as, in this country, though 
frequent in a botanical sense, it is not found in sufficient 
abundance to pay for the trouble of collecting.
