AGARICUS drypohyllus. Bull. Pl. 434. 'fig. 2.
AGARICUS drypohyllus.— — — With. 289. cd. 3.

Very common, and nearly in similar situations with the Champignon, A. pratensis Hudson, A. orcades, Withering, and forming circles like that species. The pileus is mostly brownish in the centre, the gills arched upwards, the stipess smooth and hollow.

ACTARICUS titubans. Bull. Pl. 425. Fig. 1.

Found in Kensington Gardens, but not very otten, and generally solitary. The brown or salmon-coloured gills form the most remarkable feature in this species.

AGARICUS crassipes. Schæff. tab. 88. With. 184. ed. 3.
AGARICUS— — — fusipss. Bull. 106, &: 516. fig 2.
AGARICUS fusipss.— — — Dicks. fasc. 1. page 15.

Very common, and in many respects resembling some varieties of Agaricus fliptis (exclusive of the annulus and generally greater roughness of the latter), but is tougher and more elastic; growing in clusters from the sissures of old stumps, and between them and the earth, generally so confined at the roots, that a large cluster often arises from a single point. The small bundle here represented grew on the stump of a sawn-down oak, and had radicles. Surely this is A. elasticus Withering, 190? The gills are often quite white.
