12 , MUSHROOMS. 



Marasmius oreadcs. 



FAIRY RING CHAMPIGNON. 



This excellent little mushroom grows in pastures, 

 and by roadsides, in summer and autumn. Its 

 colour is pale buff; its gills are far apart. The 

 plant has the odour of mushrooms. 



The M. TJRENS, or False Champignon is not edi- 

 ble. It sometimes groAvs in the same ring with 

 the true ones, but may be recognized by its crowd- 

 ed gills.
