de Natividade observed some boys amusing themselves
with some luminous object which at first supposed to be
kind of large FREELY; but, making inquiry, found it
to be beautiful phosphorescen fungus, belonging the
genus Agaricus, and was told that it grew abundanty in
the neighbohood the decaying leaves of palm
Next day obtained great many specimens, and found
them to vary from to two and half inches
The whole plant gives out at night bright phosphoescent
light, OF pale yreensh hue, similar that emitted by the
larger flies, by those curious sot-boded marine ami
mails, the Pyrosomoe. From this circumstance and from
growing palm, is called by the inhabitants Flor du
Coco" The light given out by few of these fungi, in
dark room, sufficient read by aware at the
time discovered this fungus that any other species of
