Order CLXII.— FUNGI. 



Many marked " Edible" are only so in a young state, and have been 

 used in either Europe or America. Tastes differ greatly in this matter. 

 One may consider only the common mushroom safe to use, while others 

 consider only the Boleti and truffles are safe. It may, however, be seen 

 from this list that we have in Queensland a very large number which it is 

 quite safe to use as food, only be it understood that all fungi must be 

 eaten only when fresh, for, as Dr. M. C. Cooke says, " high game" is not 

 applicable to fungi.
