Agaricus amethystinus Hist. 63.
Amethyst Agaric

This Agaric in Many Woods
about Halifax in great abundance.

In its colour somewhat
like Agaricus Violaceus, but is distinguished
from that by the length
and smallness of the stem and with
certainty by the absence of a Volva.

In decay it loses its purple colour,
changes to a dead brown grey, and
abides in a dry state for several
Weeks.
