CRYPTO G AMI A. FUNGI. Agatiicus. 
165 
Gills decurrent, buff, numerous, eight in a set, the little teeth or smallest 
gills very irregular in size. 
Pilens concave, dark buff approaching to orange, one and a half to two and 
sometimes five inches over. (Our specimens not bossed in the centre as 
in some of Bulliard’s figures.) Flesh white. 
Stem solid, irregularly hollow with age, buff colour, two inches high, rather 
thicker than a swan’s quill. 
Juice white, milky, not acrid, or peppery. Ray Syn. 4. 15.

Bolt. Plantations, Edgbaston. Oct. 
Ag. cimica'rius. Gills buffy: pileus deep chesnut, hollow, the edges 
turned under: stem chesnut, darker below: flesh red brown. 
Batsch. 69. 
Gills decurrent, buff, numerous. 
Pileus deep chesnut, hollow, but the edges waved and reflected, three inches 
diameter or more. 
Stem hollow, the sides of the hollow porous; two inches high, half an inch 
diameter, dark chesnut, crooked. 
At first sight it much resembles Ag. dulcis, but the hollow stem, the want 
of milky juice, and the brown flesh will readily distinguish them. 
Batsch tells us that his plant had a whey-like juice, and when broken smelt 
like a bug.
