the pileus is much brighter than he reprelents i t ; his
figure exaf t ly accords with the plant in a drying ftate,
and with fome fpecimens lefs per fef t than thofe here
dehneated. Our largeft figure nearly agrees with Dr.
Withering's defcription of A. cafarius, but does not
accord with an}? of the plates quoted for that fpecies.

AGARICUS coLLiNiTus.
T h i s was found in Peckham (or Oak of honour)
wood 06t. 9 and t6, 1794, tolerably plentiful. When
young it is enveloped in a veil of gluten, which is
durable on the dried fpecimen, and has a beautiful
tranfparent appearance like ifinglafs. T h e gills are
of a rufty iron colour, rounded at their bafe, and
detached from the flalk, though partly connefted
by cobweb-like threads inclining downwards. Similar
threads arife upwards from the annulus, meeting
the former. T h e flalk is nearly folid, but rather pithy.

AGARICUS FRAGRANS, Major Vdley in With. v. 3. 307.
^Ni oT uncommon among grafs in fpring and autumn.
I have frequently found it by the fragrance it
emits to a confiderable diflance, and which is often fo
powerful as to fcent a whole box of other fungi . It is
however fometimes fcentlefs, and the odour always evaporates
in drying. Thi s odour refembles that of Woodroof,
or of Vernal grafs Anthoxanthum odoratum., near
which laft it often grows. Can it derive any fragrance
from thence ?

T h e Rev. Mr. Relhan found three fpecimens of
this plant growing at a little diflance f rom each other
on the north fide of Gogma gog hills. The upper fide
of the pileus wa s f i lky, and the edges flightly fringed
with the fame filky membrane, like Agaricus araneofus.
