Agaricus zonarius. Hist. 144.

Zoned Agaric.

What we call milk in Agarics, is
not the common juice, or circulating
fluid of the plant; for after the substance
has been cut or broken at two or three
separate, opposite places, the whole
of the milky or coloured opaque liquor
rushes out, and you may wound it
again and again afterwards and more
will flow, tho [though] the plant still retains 
and on pressure, copiously yields a
[illegible] fluid.
