Agaricus tenuis Hist. 37.
Slender Agaric. overgrown

Tab. 1

All the Figures in this Book
being coppied [copied] immediately from the
Natural Objects with the greatest care
and exactness, in regard to Colour,
Figure & Magnitude.  Therefore to give
a Descriptive History of each in Writing
will be unnecessary.

It will be propper [proper] to make remarks of
such particulars as could not be expressed
by the Pencil, and to note Down the
Time & Place when & where I gathered
each individual.

The Agaric Tabs. I gathered in the
shadowy part of Wood-house Wood in Skircoat.
On the 23 of August this present year 1784.
It grew amongst rotten Leaves in a moist
place, has no volva but is covered with a
Glowy, Transparent, Slippery Jelly.  I would
call it Agaricus elegans.
