Agaricus deliciosus Hist. 9.
Delicious Agaric. Orange Agaric.

This Agarick is rare in the neighbourhood
of Halifax. I gathered it in a
little wood calld [called] Ramsden in the Township
of Ovenden. October the 27. The top
of the Pileus is dry and has a shining
gloss, the substance of the plant is dry
and brittle but yields a milk when the
gills or pileus are broken. The milk is
of a pale yellow colour and a mild taste.
