 Romans. (Trans. Brit. Myc. Soc. V. p. 21-66. 1914.) 



The present paper is the most decailed and exhaustive account 

 which has been published on this subject. By means of copious 

 references and quotations from classical authors it is shown that 

 the Greeks and Romans were familiär with many edible and 

 poisonous fungi, some of the former being esteemed delicacies. 

 Cases of poisoning were known, and means taken to neutralise the 

 effects. Moreover it was early discovered that ccrtain species have 

 medicinal properlies. 



Although speculations arose among philosophers as to the na- 

 ture and origin of fungi, there is no evidence that the true facts 

 were known or suspected. 



A list of the species known to the Greeks and Romans, as in- 

 terpreted bj» later writers, is given, together with critical notes.
