(Pink Clothy Agaric. E.) In clusters on grass plats, adjoining to the 
house of Thomas Pearson, Esq. at Tettenhall, Staffordshire ; and at Edg- 
baston. July, 28th Aug. 1792. 
Ag. trunca'tus. (Scheeff.) Gills dirty white, in pairs, pileus brick 
red, conical, but flat at top when young: stem whitish, cylindrical,

Scheeff. 251. 
Gills fixed. Pileus conical, but flat at the top when young, changing to 
convex, and nearly flat when old; two inches over. Stem solid, one and 
a half inch high, three quarters of an inch diameter, swollen and brown at 
the base. Schseff. 
Ag. viscidus. Huds. 614. 18. 
This is introduced from Schaeffer on the authority of Hudson, who 
refers it as a synonym to Ag. viscidus of Linn, which is a very dif¬ 
ferent plant to this of Schaeffer, but as the character Linnaeus gives to 
his viscidus could never lead Hudson to this plant of Schaeffer, I 
must suppose that he had found the latter to be the plant before him, 
and only erred in referring it to the species of Linnaeus. Hudson 
likewise refers to Scop. 1477, but Scopoli refers his species, which he calls 
j mrpurascens, to FI. Suec. 1232, and these seem also to be Schgeffer’s 
plant. The real Ag. viscidus of Linnaeus has lately been found in England, 
and will therefore be introduced in its proper place.
