Pileus grey, with white blotches, the remains of the wrapper, conical, one 
and a half inch high, centre light brown, or buff.

*Ag. campanula'tus. (Linn.) Gills pale grey, uniform: pileus mouse

Vaill. xii. 1. 2— (Mich. 75. 9. referred to in FI. Suec. is wholly white. 
This reference is rejected in Sp. PI. hut English botanists supposing Jig. 
9. the only error, quote Mich. 75. 6. which is Ag. momentaneus, a much 
smaller plant, having a pileus flat when expanded, very thin, scored on each 
side, and a white woolly stem — Schceff. 31. has a bright yellow stem, and 
gills four in a set.) — Schceff. 211, should be considered a campanulatus, 
varying chiefly in the gills being drawn in pairs, but whoever has attended 
to the inaccuracy with which the gills are represented in these plates, will 
hardly deem that an objection.
