Agaricus verrucosus Hist. 47

Warted Agaric

In Woods of Oak Trees not unfrequent.
This specimen I gathered in a little wood
at Soyland Mills four miles from Halifax
in September 1777. They have been in plenty
in woodhouse wood near Halifax this present
August 1786, but finding no specimens so perfect
as the above of 1777. I took an outline from
my figure of that, for the anexed [annexed] drawing and have
laid in the colours [colors] from another specimen newly
gathered.
