CRYPTOGAMIA. FUNGI. Agabicbs.

Stem hollow, pale brown, cylindrical, smooth, four inches high, thick as a 
crow quill. 
The whole plant semi-transparent, pale brown, white and opake when dry. 
The threads or ligaments do not seem so much formed for connecting the 
gills together as for strengthening their union with the pileus and to keep 
them perpendicular to it. 
(Ligamentous Agaric. E.) Edgbaston park. 17th Nov. 1790. 
Ag. parti'tus. Gills pale brown, few, two or four in a set: pileus 
conical, pale brown, sides plaited: stem whitish brown, splitting 
at the top. 
Gills fixed, pale brown, not numerous, two or four in a set, the small series 
being often absent, especially in the smaller plants. 
Pileus mouse brown, paler with age, conical, pointed, sides plaited, half an 
inch from the base to the apex of the cone. 
Stem hollow, pale brown, cylindrical, polished, splitting at the top, three 
to four inches high, thick as a thin crow quill. 
This is a very delicate plant; the stem uniformly splits at the top in all the 
specimens I have examined. The pileus always retains its conical shape. 
Edgbaston plantations, amongst moss. Nov. 
Var. 2. Gills regularly in pairs: stem white above, mouse below; two inches 
high.

Ag. pyramida'tus. Gills light brown, broad: pileus dark red brown, 
conical: stem white. 
Schoeff. 229. 
Gills fixed, light brown, four in a set. 
Pileus dark red brown, conical, the edge expanding, wrinkled, near one inch 
from the base to the apex. Flesh thin, light brown. 
Stem hollow, whitish, one inch and a half high, thick as a raven’s quill. 
(Brown Pyramidal Agaric. E.) Ag. pyramidatuq. SchgefF. In Lord 
Aylesford’s park at Packington. 
Ag. fibro'sus. Gills pale brown, four in a set: pileus pale reddish 
brown, conical, smooth : stem white, splitting. 
Gills fixed, pale brown, four in a set, regular, rather numerous. 
Pileus pale reddish brown, smooth, conical, more red at the apex, half to 
one inch high. 
Stem with a large hollow, white, rather tapering upwards, thick as a goose 
quill, three to four inches high, splitting into four, five, or more fibrous 
shreds, compressed towards the bottom, sometimes crooked. 
Perhaps only a variation of the preceding. Differs from Ag. arundinaceus 
of Bulliard in the white stem and the regular shaped smooth and 
unstreaked pileus, as does also his plant from Ag. collinus of SchgefFer. 
(Split-stemmed Agaric. E.) Grows in clusters, Edgbaston park. Sept. 
Ag. octogo'nus. Gills pale brown, four in a set, but some in pairs and 
much broader; pileus brown, convex, octagonal. 
Gills fixed, four in a set, but irregular, pale watery brown, white at the 
edges. Besides the above, there are eight pair of large gills, thrice as 
broad as the common large ones, whose edges approach and seem united 
in pairs, but as their attachment to the pileus is at some distance from
