Agaricus annulatus Hist. 23.

Annulated Agaric a variety.

Tab: 8.

This singular Agaric I found
growing in a ditch by the road from
Dewsbury to wakefield. The stem at
the insertion of the volva, was surrounded
by a black hard anular [annular] ring. The Pileus
had been surrounded by the volva, but when
I found the plant being past its prime,
the Volva was burst and remained in
scattered fragments on the Pileus.
The gills were numerous, crowded, and of
a pale crimson colour. The stem was
round solid upright, the Pileus Globular,
and the whole as regular as if made by
the art of the Turner. I never saw it any
where else -- gathered September 9, 1780.
