TAB. CCXLI.

AGARICUS OSTREATUS. Curt. Lond. fasc. 3. t. 71. With. ed. 3. v. 4. 300.

Most common on decaying willows, varying much in colour, and not a little in form, according to the part of the tree or stump on which it grows. It is either stemless, or with a lateral stipes; or perhaps a central one. A variety generally of a light brown colour, with very decurrent lamellæ, anastomosing and somewhat reticulated, found on elms, seems to be the A. concbatua Bull. 298. In October last I gathered an Agaric with an annulus much resembling this species, upon the trunk of an elm.


TAB. CCXLII.

AGARICUS TREMULUS. Schæff. t. 224.

Sent me by the Rev. Mr. Abbot of Bedford; it was paralltical on the Auricularia caryophyllea of this Work, t. 213. I have not seen specimens so far advanced as some that Schæfer figures.


TAB. CCXLIII.

AGARICUS CORTICALIS. Bull. t. 519. fig. 1.

On stumps of trees in damp weather, and may be mistaken for A. horizontalis as it varies like that in colour.
