Agaricus pseudo--cinnamoneus Hist. 22

False cinnamon Agaric.

Ag. [Agaricus] coriaceus

In Woods about Halifax very frequent.

The Pileus at first conical, afterwards
flat and undulated, at last rises up
and takes the figure of an irregular Cup.
In drying it retains its figure and colours [colors]
and becomes of a tough coriaceus substance.

This in some of its states resembles the
Agaricus lactifluus. see Fas. 1. Tab 18, but differs
from it, in that it Yields no milk, in that the
Pileus is almost destitute of Flesh, in that
it is not devoured by Insects, and in that it
dries to a Coriaceus substance.
