Incrusted Mushroom.Fig. 24.
(Agaricus[Hebelonia]crustuliniformis.)278.
Growing in woods, this deleterious species is extremely common, and without doubt very dangerous. The dirty pale-umber gills, and its habitat and time of growth—viz. the autumn—at once distinguish it from the deliciousA. gambosus,fig. 19, Edible Sheet. It has a powerful and highly disagreeable odour, and brown spores, and we believe it is often mistaken by the ignorant for the true mushroom.
