specimens of this curious Agaric by favour of the Rev. Charles Abbot of Bedford, (whose discernment and kindness I have not always had opportunity to acknowledge), two or three times in the autumn of 1796. One cluster was four times the size of the largest figure. The irregular protuberances on the pileus differ from any thing I had before seen in any of the Agarics.
