TAB. CCIII.

AGARICUS zonarius. With. 3 ed. v. 4. p. 193.
AGARICUS— — — fuscus. Schæff. 285

Much like A.deliciosus, but constantly of a browner colour, and the lamellæ in sets, not branching or anastomosing, somewhat rounding from the stem, varying from almost white to fuscous. The milk is constantly very acrid.


TAB. CCIV.

AGARICUS lactiflus. Linn. Sp. Pl. 1641. With. v. 4, p. 257.

{{larger|In the greatest perfection in fir plantations; in other places commonly varying to Bulliard's A. dulcis t. 224, and A. vinosius t. 54. The whole plant is of a reddish cinnamon colour, the pileus reddest. The lamellæ join the stipes in nearly a straight line; the milk is commonly mild, but leaves a roughish acrid taste in the throat. Dulcis is a poor variety, and vinosus is found in oak and other woods like a strayed plant. This Agaric has something of an oily smell, and somewhat rancid taste. It is brittle, and easily crumbles under the touch.


TAB. CCV.

AGARICUS cinnamomeus. Linn. Sp. Pl. 1642. With. v. 4, p. 257.

To be known from the last in the younger state by its cobweb-like annulus; afterwards by the gills as it were rounded off from the stipes, which is yellower, somewhat striated; and by its breaking into clefts at the edge.
