TAB. XLIII.

AGARICUS sanguineus. Jacq. Misc. v. 2 t. 15. f. 3.

The sanguine red which pervades the inner substance, and the peculiar rigidity of the pileus, &c. will readily ascertain this species, and distinguish it from the red specimens of the variable Agaricus aurantius with which it has sometimes been confounded.

TAB. XLIV.

AGARICUS sulpherus. Bull. t. 168 & t. 545. f. 2.

This, I believe, has not been noticed by any English author, partly perhaps owing to its being found in the thickest parts of woods. It is a very distinct species, and may readily be known by its general habit and colour, as well as by a certain peculiar odour, somewhat like that of an hyacinth, but rather fœtid, which is constant.

TAB. XLV.

AGARICUS Fibula. Bull. t. 186 & t. 550. f. 1.
A. parvus. With. 347. var. 1.

Very common in damp meadows and similar places among grass and moss. It is often hollow.
