 Joon  Objervationes mycologicie,  tab.  4.  fig.  a  3.  
 I  WAS  favoured  with  this  plant,  found  in the  neighhourhood  
 of  Woodbridge,  SuflFolk,  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  
 Lathbiiry.  It  is  generally  very  abundant  where  it  
 takes poffeflion, andinfefts  the Fyrus.aucuparia Fl.  Brit.  
 for  fome  years.  I  prefume  the  Pyrus  never  gets  rid  
 of  its  parafitical  companion.  The  iize  of  the  plant,  
 and  the  renaarkable  length  of  the  curved  tube,  is  the  
 chief  diftinftion between  this  and  the  foregoing.

 T h i s  little  gold-coloured  parafite  was  found  on  
 Ofmunda crijpa.  The  feeds  were  large  for the  iize  of  
 the  plant,  and  particularly  brilliant,  having  always  a  
 bright  golden luftre.  The  cover is fimple, and partakes  
 of  the  fame  fplendour,  though  in  a  lefs  degree.

 AGARICUS  PUBESCENS.  Fl.  Dan.  1073.  
 I s  always  of  a  fnowy  white,  and  grows  on  rotten  
 wood,  in  damp  places,  under  the  bark  of  decaying  
 trees.  The  minutenefs  of  this  Fungus,  and  its  frequently  
 being  found,  in  a  young  pubefcent  ftate,  
 without  gills,  may  have  caufed  it  to  have  been  overlooked; 
   and  indeed  the  gills  are  feldom  to  be  feen  
 without  clofe examination.  They  are few  in  number,  
 not  very  prominent,  and  generally  in  pairs.  Thüle  
 in  Fl.  Dan.  are  larger  fpecimens.

 AGARICUS  MURAHs.  
 W e  do not  find  this  plant anyw here  taken  notice of,  
 though  extremely  common  on  old  walls,  &c.  With  
 regard  to  its  general  form,  it  is  very  fportive.  The  
 pileus  is  fometimes  contra£led,  and  at  other  times  
 very  large in  proportion  to the  reft  of  the  plant.  The  
 gills  join  the  ftem,  which  is  nearly  cylindrical  
 and  more  or  lefs  curved.  The  whole  plant  is  of  a  
 foxy  brown,  but  the  gills  are  paler  and  yellower.  
 This  is often  accompanied  by  another  Agaric,  which  
 is  fometimes  paler,  or  even  totally  white,  and  in  form  
 more  clumfy,  though  we  at  prefent  imagine  it  not  
 to  be  a  different  fpecies.

 AGARICUS  RiMosus.  Bull  388.  
 " W E  have found this in many  places; but in  England  
 It  feldom  appears  to  affume  the  dry  ftate,  as  figured  
 fo  excellently  m  Bulliard.  Even  when  younf  the  
 che&ut  Ilvm  of  the  pileus  is  difpofed  to  crack,  and  
 prettily  fliows  A e  lighter  parts  between.  In  age  the  
 whole  plant  aiTumes  a  paler  colour.  The  gills  are  
 ot  a  yellowifli  olive  brown.  The  ftiiies  is  fomewhat  
 lighter,  generally  folid,  and  fometimes  bulbour
