Agaricus rubeus. Hist. 36
Red Agaric.

This new and beautifull species
I gathered in company with my Friend
Mr. Paul Shackleton the Entimologist [Entomologist],
in a little Wood at Shibden Hall near Halifax
October ye 29th -- 1786.

Gills in three series, transparent
in some lights, and of a Ruby colour. Pileus
looks like Pillow Fustin [Fustian] made of dark red
cotton, stem tough solid crooked and near
the root a little swell'd [swelled]. No volva
I never met with it before or since.
