CRYPTOGAMIA. FUNGI. Agarics 
Stem one quarter of an inch in length, and as much in breadth. Bolton. 
Not Schseff. 43. 44; nor Mich. 05. 1. 
(Kidney-shaped Agaric. E.) Ag. flabelliformis. Bolt. Grows on the 
side of old trees. Feb. 
Ag. FffiThcus. Gills yellowish, mostly in pairs, broad, wide apart: 
pileus dirty buff*, convex, edge turned in. 
Gills fixed, brown yellow, gelatinous, mostly in pairs. 
Pileus convex, dirty bro wn buff-colour, edge much rolled in, surface greatly 
wrinkled when old, clammy, one and a half to two and a half inches over. 
Stem hard, thick, blackish, not half an inch long; it is, perhaps, rather a 
root than a stem. 
Hitherto undescribed. Its figure is rather elegant, swelling out from the 
root-like stem into an oblong circular form, and raised like a cushion. 
The inside is gelatinous and has an unpleasant smell. Several plants, 
from one to seven, grow from one root, tiled one over another. Specimen, 
drawing, and description from Mr. Stackhouse. 
(Fetid Cushioned Agaric. E-) On the bark of willow trees, Powick, 
near Worcester. 
C. Stems none. 
Ag. applica'tus. Gills grey, two to four in a set, limber, diverging 
from the centre of the plant: pileus dark brown grey, rather 
convex, 
Ag. acaulis inversus orbicularis cinereo-nigricans, lamellis in centra contingent 
tibus, albido ccerulescentibus. Hickson. 
Batsch 1 25—(Sowerby 301— Bull. 581. 2. E.) 
Plant sessile, fixed by the top of the pileus, circular or oblong, one inch 
diameter (seldom so large. Purt. The whole plant greenish grey. Sow¬ 
erby. E.) 
(Dark-grey Agaric. E.) Ag. applicatus. Batsch. On decayed wood. 
Earsham, Norfolk. Mr. Woodward. Willow trees, Powick, near Wor¬ 
cester. Mr. Stackhouse. 
Ag. betulPnus. (Linn.) Gills reddish yellow, to reddish brown, 
numerous, thin, very much branched: pileus pale brown buff, 
cottony: irregularly semi-circular. 
Ag. acaulis, coriaceus villosus, margine obtuso , lamellis anastomosantibus. FI. 
Suec. 
(Sowerby 182 E.)— Bull. 346. the four lower figures — Bull. 394— Bolt. 72. 
1— Buxb. v. 6— FI. Dan. 770. 1— Bull. 5 37, seems to represent specimens 
of this and also of Ag. quercinus. 
Gills in the younger plant four in a set, light brown, sometimes branched. 
Pileus thin, when young fixed to the wood on which it grows, the gills being 
uppermost; it then separates from the wood and turns up, as is more 
particularly explained in speaking of Ag. quercinus. This, now upper 
part, is brown, or greenish, and woolly, consisting of concentric circles 
formed in ridges. It is apt to contain blades of grass, or bits of sticks 
perforating its substance, which only could have happened in its soft 
state. 
Stem none. Rather leathery than fleshy; belts variable, some more woolly.
