 of iAsia. On the ground. Used for poisoning- insects, 

 more especially by the Laplanders ; as an intoxicant by the 

 Russians, Kamtchatdales, and Koriacs, and formerly used

 on the Continent. The Italians dry them on strings for winter 

 use, and in Hung^ary a soup is made from them when fresh.

 edible more or less, but none appear to be so g-enerally 

 recognised or so safe as B. edulis.

 fung"us which now occupies a place in the British Pharma-
