The ^raEiic(il Kitchen Gardiner. 3 2 3 



fpecies that are to be eaten with plea- 

 fure, as may be feen in Gerardy lib, 3. 

 cap. 167. and in Tarkmfin, lib. 14, cap. 

 62. befidcs many other kinds in the two 

 Bauhimts's, Clujius, id-c. but I rather re- 

 fer my reader to the kinds mentioned by 

 our own countrym.an Gerard^ in liis ex- 

 cellent treatife of plants. 



The good ones are called by the ge- 

 neral name of fungi vulgatijjmi efcu- 

 lenti the figures of which Gerard has 

 given in the aforefaid chap. p. 1579- and 

 on the other fide^ thofe that are dc^tdly^ 

 which are difcover'd by their ihape or 

 colour, being generally yellow, and in 

 the form of a buckler ; whilfl: thofe 

 that are good are of a v/hite colour, 

 and round as a ball or cufliion 5 but for 

 the better underftanding of this, I refer 

 my reader to the before-mention'd Her- 

 bal. 



The bcft eatable mufhrooms grow in 

 dryiOi upland pafture ground, in fheep- 

 walks and cow-downs, and are much 

 better than thofe that grow in the (hade 

 in moory boggy places 5 or under the 

 bodies of old trees, which are general- 

 ly poifonous, according to that of Ho- 

 race^
