﻿REPORT 
  OF 
  THE 
  STATE 
  BOTANIST 
  lOI 
  

  

  such 
  that 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  called 
  rather 
  tough, 
  and 
  it 
  would 
  probably 
  ex- 
  

   clude 
  this 
  species 
  from 
  the 
  first 
  class 
  of 
  edible 
  mushrooms. 
  If 
  stewed 
  

   in 
  milk 
  or 
  cream 
  the 
  Hquid 
  assumes 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  purplish 
  or 
  pinkish- 
  

   purple 
  hue 
  of 
  the 
  mushroom. 
  This 
  coloration 
  would 
  probably 
  be 
  

   avoided 
  if 
  the 
  mushrooms 
  were 
  peeled 
  before 
  stewing. 
  

  

  According 
  to 
  Cooke, 
  the 
  flavor 
  of 
  R. 
  drimeia 
  is 
  '' 
  so 
  intensely 
  pep- 
  

   pery 
  that 
  after 
  tasting 
  a 
  small 
  fragment, 
  the 
  tongue 
  tingled 
  for 
  more 
  

   than 
  half 
  an 
  hour.
