Agaricus annularius Hist 23.
Ruffled, or Ringed Agaric.

This in several dry woodgrounds in the
neighbourhood of Halifax in Augt. [August] & September 1786.

The stem solid and bulbose at the base, the
scaly imbrications on the Pileus are not the
fragments of a General Volva as in the Agar,
muscarius, but grow from, and are a part of
the Pileus. The partial Volva or Curtain is
inserted by its base into an anulus or ring which
is moveable upon the stem of the plant, and
remains after the curtain has performed its' office
and perishes.
