saver in collecting. We could be out two and a half miles in a typical 

 location, and in four minutes we would be back to the restaurant. Four 

 minutes more and we could be on our collecting grovmd again. We 

 covered the surrounding country pretty well, but were too late for the 

 Showy Ladies Slippers near Irving, described to us by the local Rexall 

 druggists. We were in a fine cranberry bog one afternoon and collected 

 a bunch of Grass Pink orchids and others less showy. 



Fig. 70. — The Fly Amanita on the banks of the Black 

 river, Jackson Co., Wis. 



The fungi of Jackson County were interesting and would afford 

 the mycologist a deal of study. We noted the increase of poisonous 

 species as we went north and photographed a particularly fine group 

 of the Fly Amanita (A. muscaria) on the banks of Black river as 

 shown in figure 70. We also saw the Death Angel (A. phalloides).
