A privately printed manuscript described by A.W. Brand as a ‘compilation’. He discusses the difficulties of identifying individual species and he goes on to say “This is not an attempt to revise Agaricus......The purpose of this paper is to draw together and attempt to co-relate the available information from the very scattered sources and present it in a useable form.” The Supplement contains a translation of an article by Henri Mesplede entitled ‘Le Genre Psalliota - Revision’, published in the Bulletin de la Societe Mycologique du Bearn in 1981/82.
