RHIZOMORPHA spinosa.

being chiefly at right angles and fomewhat fpinofe,
feem to give it a fpecific diftinition, as well as the
taffel-hke fruftification, if I may fo call it.

AGARICUS APPLicATUs. Batfch. tab. 125.
With. V. 4. 305.
M O S T common under chips of rotten wood, or on
the loofened bark of decaying flumps. It is generally
attached by the pileus, and lamella;, though fometimes
protruded by a ftalfc which curioufly elongates the
top of the pileus, and makes the whole fungus aiTume
the fliape of a bell. The pileus is fomewhat hairy,
and commonly of a greeniili gray colour ; the lamellsc
are of a lighter hue.

MUCOR URCEOLATUS. Dickf. fafc. 3, tab. 6. With. v. 4.
p. 401. ed. 3.
T H I S curious produftion maybe found in abundance
on horfe-dung in damp or dewy mornings or evenings,
almofl: all the year. At firft it is cylindrical with a fmall
yellow head. In a few hours the Jiipes inflates towards
the top, and becomes pitcher-fliaped, and at the fame
time the head gradually changes brown, by degrees it
becoming totally black. The plant being arrived at
perfeftion, by its inflation or expaniion it burfts, and
pro] efts the head to the diftance of 3 or more inches,
probably to difperfe the feeds.

A B O U T the year 1793, I found this Agaric in great
abundance in Sir W.Jerningham's plantations atCollefy
near Norwich, growing on the fallen leaves of young
Beech, Fagus fylvatica ; but I have never feen it fincc.
The hairy ñipes is its mofl remarkable charaitcr.

AGARICUS ACETABULOSUS.
FOLTS^D near Mill-bank, Weftminfter, a little above
highwater mark, in May 1795. This is very like
a poor fpecimcn of Jgaricus cm-i<yre^atus, E.'Fumi
tab. 261. but the pileus is more plited. The lamelte
are remarkably glandular on their fides ; and inftead
ot abare bafe or foot it ftands in a little focket-hke
