This pretty Agarick is covered
with little tufts of dawn brown at their
summits, growing from the substance
of the pileus to which they adhere by
a white dawny base, there is a curtain
which is as light as a spiders web and
vanishes while the plant is in its
infant state. It grew in the Garden
of J. Cook Esqr. [Esquire] in Warley Sepr. [September] 15, 1786.
