TAB. XLI.

AGARICUS larchrymabundus. Bull. t. 194 & t. 525.

Common in woods, the sides of green lanes, &c. in damp weather. The discharge of a fluid in little transsparent globules, from the sides of the maculated gills, is peculiar to this species. These drops seem to flow from near the insertion of the feeds, and commonly unite with them at the edges; a curious subject for microscopic investigation. There is a variety more solid than that here delineated; otherwise it is not a very variable plant.

TAB. XLII.

AGARICUS odorus. Bull. t. 176 & t. 556.

It is remarkable that the pleasant ratafia' odour of this plant should have escaped notice so long; but it appears not to be a very common Agaric, and is generally found solitary. Is this Dr. Withering's viridis, vol 3. p. 320?
