Agaricus cyathoides. Hist. 145.

Cupped Agaric.

In 1790. in February this plant
came up in an old mellon bed in Mrs.
Caygill's Garden at [Tha.] soon after the
Earth of the bed was removed. and in
February 1792 the plant appeared
again in that part of the garden
to which the Earth was removed, but
few specimens came up. and since
then Mr. Duncan Gardener there has
not found it.  Can we suppose it
an Exotic brought into the Garden with
imported roots Earth seeds &c.?
