AGARICUS spinipes.
Received by favour of the Rev. Mr. Hemsted from the neighbourhood of Newmarket, Cambridgshire. It appears an undescribed species, and is parasitical on pine cones, sticks, &c. The stipes is clothed at the base with a rigid woolly substance like spurs, above it is downy. The gills partly rounding from the stipes or pileus nearly white. The pileus almost regularly convex, of a dusky brown.

AGARICUS scaber. F. Dan. t. 832.
Occasionally very numerous in the shady parts of woods, and what I have found keep a constant uniformity. The stipes in breaking seems encrusted with a bark. The edge of the pileus in the younger state is attached to the stem with woolly threads.

Varying, swelling in wet, twisting and distorting in dry weather. The lamallæ are straight from the edge of the pileus to the stem, or decurrent, always copioustly covered with a farinaceous pinky powder, most conspicuous when the fungus is drying. It often resembles the bleached varieties of A. amethystinus, which has occasioned some confusion.
