Agaricus violaceus. Hist. 52

Violet Agaric

Tab: 17,

This Agaric I gathered in Wood-house
Wood in October 1779, I have Since
Seen it there, and in Kebroyd Wood in
Soyland. There is a Semi volva or Operculum,
which breaks when the Plant
comes to maturity, and hangs in fragments
round the stem and the rim of
the Hat, and looks like a Spiders web
Dusted with the Powder of rusty Iron.
the stem below the insertion of the Operculum,
is likewise Dusted with the same
powder.
