Agaricus membranecius Hist. 11.
Membraneous Agaric.

This Agaric grew on a piece of putrid
Wood in Birks near Halifax Septr. [September] 25, 1786.

The whole of this plant Pileus gills &
stem was of a thin papery dry tough light
substance, the Gills very faintly tinged
with a pale kind of crimson colour, all
the other parts a dead white. The Gills
remote deep and in three series,
no Volva -- it shrivels up in drying
and loses most part of its quantity.
