Sand- 
lake. Edible. This fungus is pronounced by some writers to be 
an excellent substitute for beef-steak, and the juice to be equal to 
beef gravy. It is stated by M. C. Cooke in his “ British Fungi” 
that specimens sometimes attain a weight of thirty pounds. It is 
at once known by its liver-red color, red juice and yellow under 
surface. Unfortunately for those who would like to make use of it 
for food, it is rare with us.
