Agaricus castaneus. Hist. 10.
Chest Nut Agaric.

This beautifull new Agaric I found
in a little Wood at back of Mount Pellon
near Halifax Octr [October] 7th, 1786.

Stem white, shines with a silky
gloss, is solid, of equal thickness
throughout, and destitute of Volva.
Gills numerous, curtain like a
spiders web, pileus chestnut colour'd [coloured].
I afterwards saw a few specimens of
it at Fixby, elsewhere I have not
met with it.
