Agaricus alumnus. Hist. 155.

Fostered Agaric.

This plant so much resembles the Agaricus
tuberosus of Bulliard Pl 256. that
I believe it to be the same species tho [though] no Tubercles
were at the root of my Plant.--

But as there is a possibility of its being a
distinct plant I thought it better to give a
trivial name someway expressive of the
plant without having regard to the figure
of the root.
