Agaricus carneus

This in general figure somewhat
resembles the Agaricus rubeus, but the
number figure and substance of the gills
sufficiently mark a specific  distinction.

The whole substance is watery & jelly
like, the gills wide brittle deep and
irregular. The plant is of short duration
soon dissolving in a brown Liquor.

In many dry shady woods about Halifax,
this specimen in Old Lane Wood
August 30, 1787.
