FlSTULINA HEPATICA, Fr. 



Base of chestnut and oak trees. Fort Edward. Howe. Sand- 

 lake. Edible. This fungus is pronounced by some writers to be 

 an excellent substitute for beef-steak, and the juice to be equal to 

 beef gravy. It is stated by M. C. Cooke in his " British Fungi" 

 that specimens sometimes attain a weight of thirty pounds. It is 

 at once known by its liver-red color, red juice and yellow under 

 surface. Unfortunately for those who would like to make use of it 

 for food, it is rare with us.
