Agaricus (Gymnopus) chrysophaeus (Harvard Icones plate 7; insert i: plate 116, figure 89 [probably = A. G. leoninus var. β, chrysophaeus in the Conspectus]). B. Agaricus (Gymnopus) atrovirens (Harvard Icones plate 46; insert ii: plate 117, figure 90 as A. G. luridus). C. Agaricus (Gymnopus) psittacinus (Harvard Icones plate 47 (see Fig. 2 above); insert iii: plate 104, figure 56). D. Agaricus (Omphalia) nigrella (Harvard Icones plate 50; insert iv: plate 153, figure 187). E. Agaricus (Gymnopus) platyphylla α (Harvard Icones, plate 23; insert v: plate 113, figure 77). It is currently unknown what the numbers, “(8)” and “(9)” refer to in C and D, respectively.
