Lycoperdon epiphyllum. not in hist
Scarlet-downy Lycoperdon

This Lycoperdon grows in
great plenty on the back side of
the leaves of Butter Burr when
they begin to fade, it appears
like small grains of a vermilion
colour, but when magnified it
is found to comsist [consist] of numerous
dawny filaments growing from a
small head. I saw it in Great
abundance on the Butter Burr Leaves
beside Calder in September 1784.
