Agaricus bulbosus Hist. 147.

Bulbous Agaric.

The Name bulbosus ( tho [though] in complience [compliance] wh [with]
Ray Dillenius Hudson &c) here retained, is
by no means a good one; because many other
Agarics are as manifestly bulb rooted as this.
I believe it is a rare species in this
Kingdom Dillenius found it near Newington.
I gathered the specimen here figured in
a little wood in Ovenden in October 1790
and have not found it any where else.
