COTTONY LYCOPERDON.
T A B . CLXXVnOi
' 1 VHIS Lycoperdon is very various in ihapej it is moft fi-equently
turbinated, and fupported on a {lender ftem, as is
ihewn in the upper figure on the plate. Sometimes it is perfectly
feifile, efpecially while young; in another ftate, the pileus isglobular,
and fupported on a lengthened ftem, which is bellied, fomething
like a narrow pitcher, as the lower figure reprefents. In
both ftates it is of a fair white while young, but in the progrefs of
growth changes to a duiky brown; the furface is foft and downy.
The fmall figures are the natural fize; the two fe&ions are
magnified. _
The two may poffibly be diftindl fpecies; but as I have found
them growing at the fame time and place, and never on any other
fubftance than the putrid hoofs of beafts, I have comprehended
them both under one.
