Agaricus croceus. Hist. 51. f.2.

Saffron colour'd [colored] Agaric.

Tab: 5.

While this Agaric is Young both
the Hat & stem are covered with a cottony
<s>dawn</s> down, when it has acquired the height
of one or two inches, the rim of the Hat
begins to expand, is seperated [separated] from the
stem, which still continues the progress
of its growth, but is smooth and destitute
of <s>dawn</s> down from the point of seperation [separation]
upwards. I gathered it on a piece of Dry
Mouldy Horse dung in Birks Wood in
september 1783 after much rain, I never
saw it any where else.
