This species has also occurred in cellars within the city 
of Birmingham on several occasions. “ In the district 
east of Birmingham, where it is known as the ‘ Cham¬ 
pignon,’ it is freely eaten by certain country people; 
and I know a small village in the West Riding of York¬ 
shire of which the same is true, as doubtless of many 
others.”—W. B. G.

Var. with scaly pileus. Rookery, Edgbaston, With., 226. 
A form in which the pileus is covered with flattened 
pencils of brown hair, identical with that recorded by 
Withering, still occurs in Edgbaston Park. 
The form alba, with beautiful silky white pileus, is 
common in Packington Park, and at Bradnock’s Marsh. 
The var. Ag. villaticus , Brond., which is more likely to 
be a distinct species, was represented by grand speci¬ 
mens in a spinney at Hampton, on the edge of a meadow. 
These exactly agreed with Cooke, Illustr., pi. 585 ; the 
pileus measured over 12ins. in diameter, and the stem 
2|ins. in thickness. 
253. Ag. silvaticus, Schcef. Kenilworth? Bussell, List. [-‘I 
found this at the Leasowes, Halesowen, Worcestershire, 
in July, 1885.”—W. B. G.J
