Agaricus plumosus Hist. 33.
Feathery Agaric.

This Agaric both on the stem &
pileus is covered with a kind of feathery
dawn which is not the parts of a volva
but grows from the substance of the
plant. The substance of the whole is
dry and elastic it withers in decay.

I gathered it in the wood belonging
a farm calld [called] Highfield in Ovenden Augt. [August]
29, 1786, and again in September this
present year, 1787.
