Matrix-bearing Mushroom. [Fig. 7.]
(Agaricus [Amanita] Phalloides.)2.
Common everywhere in woods; this handsome Agaric is known to be highly dangerous. It is allied to [fig. 8], as will be seen by glancing at the figures.
All parts are nearly white, excepting the top, which generally takes some pale shade of subdued yellow or green.
Poisonous Spring Mushroom. [Fig. 8.]
(Agaricus [Amanita] vernus.)1.
Belonging to a very suspicious group, this Agaric is supposed to be very poisonous. It grows in woods, in the spring, and is white in all its parts.
It is rare, but I have found it close to London.
