TAB. CLXIV.

AGARICUS pilosus. Huds. Fl. Angl. 622.

Mr B. M. Forster favoured me with specimens of this curious Agaric from Hollybush-Hill near Wansted in Essex. Mr. Dickson, I beheve, first found it on the decayed foliage of Holly (Ilex aquifolium) near Croydon, Surry, and gave it to Mr. Hudson.


TAB. CLXV.

AGARICUS galericulatus. Schæff. tab. 52.

Frequently on willow stumps in autumn or spring, especially in damp weather, mostly issuing from under the bark, or where it is rotted away near the surface of the earth. We find the general appearance of this fungus pretty constant; the stipes is tough.
