Agaricus atro-albus Hist. 137.

Black & White Agaric.

This curious Agaric is so very rare
in this neighborhood that I never met 
with it but once.  I was removing a
large Fleece of Hypnum near the Root
of an old Tree in [Puffin] Park near
Elland in search for Coleoptera when I
found some of the little radical tufts
with a very minute Pileus in the centre 
and searching forward and backward I 
met with the specimens figured in the
Drawing.
