Upper figure: THE HONEY MUSHROOM, OR OAK FUNGUS (ARMILLARIA MELLEA) : 

 Edible. This common agaric is the bane of the orchardist (see also photographs and text). Figure in the 

 middle on the left : THE GARLIC MUSHROOM (MARASMIUS SCURODONIUS) : Edible. The 

 odor ot garlic is so pronounced in t his little species that the " nose knows " it before the eye sees it. Figure 

 in the middle on the right : THE LITTLE WHEEL MUSHROOM (MARASMIUS RUTULA): Edible. 

 When garnishing venison, this dainty Marasmius adds the appropriate touch of the wild woodlands. Lower 

 fioure: THE FINNISH HYDNUM (HYDNUM FENNICUM). This species is too bitter to be eaten, 

 but the nearly related H. imbricatum is a great favorite with European peoples All figures about two-thirds
