Bull. 424. fig. 1. THIS casually falls (if I may so say) on thriving grasses, &c. It is very nearly allied to R. alba., being cottony, like that, on the outside, but more condensed within, holding a black powder in somewhat labyrinthiform cells, like the two former.

PERHAPS a variety of the last dried somewhat waxy before it was quite ripe, as sometimes happens to some of the Fungus tribe. TAB. CD. may possibly be a variety of L. smiplex, t. 272? The cracks in the skin are perhaps caused by drying suddenly.

A VARIETY in a very luxurious and most state, as I have often dete6led it in Kensington Gardens, though in smaller quantities.
