 obferv'd to grow in the wor.ds of Germany in 

 the greateft plenty, in thofe places where char- 

 coal has been made. Hence the good women 

 who colledl them to fell, receiving a hint how 

 to encourage their growth, have been ac- 

 cuflom'd to make fires in -certain places of the 

 woods, with heath, broom, Vaccinium^ and 

 other materials, in order to obtain a more plen- 

 tiful crop. This ftrange method of cultivating 

 Morels^ being however fometimes attended with 

 dreadful confequencps, large woods having 

 been fet on fire and deftroy'd by it, the ma- 

 giftrate thought fit to interpole his authority, 

 • and the pradice is now interdidled.
