Agaricus mollis. Hist. 40
Soft Agaric. rare

This I gathered in Old Lane Wood
in September 1786

The stem is solid destitute
of Volva, swelling at the root, and tears
in fibres like hemp, gills fine, numerous, in three
series, very regular and smart.

The plant is very handsome and has
I know not what of a pleasing dawny
softness both to the sight and to the touch.
