Agaricus infundibuliformis Hist. 34.
Funel-shaped [Funnel-shaped] Agaricus.

This Agaric grew in several Woods in the
neighbourhood [neighborhood] of Halifax in Septr. [September] & Octr. [October] 1786.

Stem hollow, open at the top, where is spreads
into a pileus as the Tube of a flower of Mirabilis does
into the limb, sometimes the skin of the pileus
is extended over the opening of the Tube as in A.

The gills are branched as in the Chantarellus,
they are squat and seem to be of a substance similar
to that of the Flesh of the Pileus, This plant seems
to form a connecting link between the Agaric & Peziza
as the Agaricus quercinus does between the first
and the Boleti. I never observed this plant till
this present year.
