TAB. CCLXXXI.

AGARICUS graveolens. With. ed. 3. v. 4. 181.
AGARICUS— — — grammopdius. Bull. 548.

We presume this is the plant meant by Withering, and that it is not different from A. grammopodius of Balhard as quoted by him, though he refers by mistake to t. 585 of that author, instead of t. 548. The figures vary extremely. This plant is to be seen in many places. The present specimens were sent from near Newmarket, by favour of the Rev. Mr. Hemsted.


TAB. CCLXXXII.

AGARICUS acicula. Schæff. 222.

This pretty little agaric moft frequently occurs on rotten stumps that are clothed with Hypnums, &c. It is somewhat local, but not rare. It seems hitherto to have escaped the notice of English authors, unles it be Agaricus Hypni With. ed. 3. We find the gills sometimes fixed to the stipes, as he describes them.


TAB. CCLXXXIII.

AGARICUS monstrosus.

He singularity of this fungus made me give it a figure, though I am not sure it is a species. I found it in vast abundance on the left-hand side of the road leading to Coslesy, about a mile and a half from Norwich, ten years ago.
