E object of this little Trork ia to enable 

 the reader-to identify our best species of 

 mushrooms. 



The species represented by the engravings are 

 each abundant in its season, wholesome and deli- 

 cious when properly prepared for the table. 



I have often and freely eaten of each species 

 recommended. 



Fresh, sound specimens only should be used, as 

 stale plants are as likely ,to produce indigestion, as 

 meat in a similar condition. 



I shall be glad to give inf ormationjcegarding. any 

 species forwarded to me.
