Agaricus laricinus. Hist. 19
Larch Agaric.

This Agaric issued in great
clusters from Chinks in the Bark of
decaying, yet standing, Larch Tree in the
plantation at Lee Bridge Octr. [October] 1786.

On the Pileus and stem,
short dawny tufts appear like dark colourd [coloured]
tubercles, the gills same colour as the
Pileus but paler. Whole plant dry, firm,
solid and elastic; curtain thick and tough,
and originates in a rough irregular ring
at top of the stem, I have observed this
plant in the above place for four or five
Autumns past, never met with it elsewhere.
