Agaricus (Psilocybe) areolatus, Klotsch in Hook. FI., v. 112. 
This rare and remarkable species, which has not been recorded as 
occurring anywhere since it was found by Klotsch at Glasgow, has 
turned up in a garden at Stoke Newington. An admirable figure 
was secured by Mr. Worthington Smith, and will be published in 
the “ Illustrations.” The notes made at the time were, “ Densely 
csespitose. Pileus at first white, with the cuticle entire, at length 
rufous and cracking into areola, a much firmer plant than A. spa- 
diceus, not brittle. Stem striate, pulverulent, especially towards 
the apex, hollow ; gills with a distinct white edge, at first very 
pale, spores very dark, almost black, broadly almond-shape.”
