Agaricus extinctorius Hist. 24
Extinguisher Agaric

This curious Agarick grew plentifully
in an heap of sand in the celler [cellar]
of an unfinished building in
Southowram near Halifax. They grew
several from the same root, grew up
in one night and dissolved the succeeding
Day. I have not seen it elsewhere, I
believe it to be the true extinctorius of
Dr. Linnaeus.
