have long been known to afford delicious and nutritious food. They 

 are largely used in some of the countries of Europe, and have begun 

 to be an article of commerce, and, preserved in cans, are brought to 

 this country and offered for sale. In view of these facts, and of the 

 increasing interest in the cultivation and use of these fungi in this 

 country, it has been thought best to add brief remarks to the more 

 important species of the Cryptogamia concerning their uses, and to 

 note particularly those that are edible. The number of species of 

 edible fungi already found in our State is thirty-three, a list of which 

 is given in a paper marked E. 



Further remarks upon these and other plants both useful and inju- 

 rious, together with a record of those new to our State flora, descrip- 

 tions of new species, etc., are given in a paper marked F.
