AGARICUS v iOL.\cEus. Linn. Sp. Pl. 1641. With. v.4.
p. 207.
T H I S varies to a purple all over. The ñipes is very
cottony, extending to the edge of the pileus, and forms
an annulus which often catches the ferruginous feeds.
The tafte is fimilar to A. campejiris, the common
mufliroom, but not fo good. This fpecies is fometimes
fold at Covent-garden market, under the name
of Blewits for making ketchup.

AGARICUS TURFOSUS.
I W A S favoured with thefe gathered by the Rev. Mr.
Francis of Holt, Norfolk, November 1798, who finds
them on heathy ground where turf ftacks have flood.
They fomewhat referable MeruUus fcetidus of the
Rev. R. Relhan. See Eng. Fung. tab. 21. They however
have little fcent, and the ftipes is fmooth, the
whole plant alfo lefs rigid. Perhaps it fliould be a
Merulius ? I hope to fettle that point at the end of the
work.

BOLETUS SPUMEUS.
T h i s , which I believe to be a new fpecies, oozes
from decaying elms in a very foft frothy mafs, hardening
in a day or two; and, if it dries favourably, the pileus
becomes hifpid. The pores are fmall, and nearly
round; the tubes not long. I have found it in Keniington
gardens, at Kennington in Surry, and other
places.

BOLETUS BETULINUS. Bull. 312.
OUND for feveral years on an old birch near Hevingham,
Norfolk, by the Rev. Mr. Alderfon. The
iliort lateral ñipes feems to imbibe much of the reddifli
hue of the inner brown bark of the tree, and
even granular particles of its fubftance. The outer coats
are of a lightifli brown ; cracking from the pure white,
clofe, cork-like fubftance of the plant in advanced age,
as if from a white-waflied wall. The pores vary, and
are fliortifli and uneven at their mouths, of ayellowifli
hue, and pretty clofely attached to the fubftance of the
plant.

AURICULARIA CARTOPHYLLEA. Bull 378.
HELVELLA CARYOPHYLLEA. Bickf. Crypt.fafc. i. 20.
A VERY common paraiite on the expofed fantaftic
roots of old firs in autumn. The fpecimcns are of a
woody or rather leathery fubftance, and grow in various
forms, attaching themfelves by their backs to
any thing in the way; their colour is moftly a ferru-
.ginous brown, fometimes with white edges.
