TAB. XVIII.
PEZIZA stercoraria Bulliard t. 376 & t. 438.
Found on cows dung near Stapleford Abbot, Essex. This and the P. punctata seem to connect the genus of Peziza with that of Sphæria.
TAB. XIX.
AGARICUS croceus Bulliard t. 362. With. v. 3. 319.
The pileus has an opaque leathery appearance in moderately dry weather, which is peculiar to this species, but in wet weather it becomes somewhat glutinous and shining.
TAB. XX.
AGARICUS ceraceus Dicks. Fasc. 1. 16. With. v. 3. 369.
Found in damp weather among grass in Kensington gardens and other places. The semitransparent and waxy appearance easily distinguishes it. It tastes like the common mushroom, A. campestris, and no doubt is equally wholesome.
