Check with an oblique line each term used. 



In gathering specimens for identification 

 and analysis, great care must be employed 

 to obtain the whole specimen. If the spe- 

 cimen is to be carried home for analysis, 

 it is well to number the blank, filling out the 

 data as far as possible on the spot, then 

 slip a corresponding number on the stem of 

 the mushroom to avoid confusion. 



Mushrooms, like flowers, are found in 

 various places ; some prefer sandy soil, 

 others moist shady spots ; some are found 

 in the early spring time, others not until 

 summer or fall.
