TAB. LXXXI.

AGARICUS alliaceus. Bull. tab. 153, & 524, fig. 1.

Not uncommon in woods during mod of the autumnal months. It grows attached to fallen oak. leaves, without any earth about the roots. The stipes is somewhat velvety, often solid; the long gills generally fixed to the top of the stipes. The pileus is commonly plaited. The garlick-like smell is very perceptible, and remains till the fungus is almost dry. Can this be the Agaricus alliatus, Schæff. tab. 99? Jacquin's alliaceus is a different plant; see With. vol. 4. 277.

AGARICUS— — — chamæleon. Bull. tab. 545.

Most frequent in moist grassy places in parks, &c. It has all the characters (except colour) which belong to some of the varieties of Agaricus aurantius., more especially of Agaricus dentatus of Linn. Huds, &c. In some stages of the growth of this plant the pileus is dentated at the edges. It is best distinguished by the green tinge at the upper part of the stipes, which is retained almost to the last.
