Clathrus turbinatus Hist. 94. f. 3.
Turbinated Clathrus in a young state

Lycop. ova insecta

This Lycoperdon on a bit of rotten
Elm wood in an hollow Root in Cross Field
at Halifax Octr. [October] 3d, 1786.

It appeared like the eggs of some
of the smaller Butterflies, being removed into
a dry room the plant ceased to grow, changed
colour to a light dusky Brown and did not
burst to discharge the seeds.

Fine specimens of Clathrus denudatus
grew on the same bit of decay'd [decayed] wood.
