Agaricus tenuis Hist. 37

Slender Agaric

Tab: 2.

This agaric is extremely delicate
and tender, the action of the air or the touch
of the Hand Destroys it when removed
from the Place of its Growth.  I gathered
it in September 1783 in a little deep wood
below Birks Hall beside the River, where
the soil consisted of rotten Vegetables and
the Air by reason of the Situation of the 
place is Stagnate.  I have seen it in like
situations elsewhere.  May we not call it
Agaricus assurgens.
