Agaricus cespitosus Hist. 41 f c.
Turf or Peat Agaric.

This Agaric grows on the sides of the
Turf Pits where Peat has been dug on Sottonstall
Moor six miles from Halifax.

The stem grows horizontaly [horizontally] from the
sides of the Pit, and then curvs [curves] upwards.

The pileus is semitransparent, covered
with a clammy kind of varnish, destitute
of Flesh crumpled and irregular. Gills few
in three series, -- no volva.
