Tratenfibus optima fungis 

 Natura ejt, aliis male creditur. 



Mr. Ray, in his Hiftory of TlaJits, 

 lib. 2. mentions no lefs than twenty four 

 different kinds of this efculent mufh- 

 room, which grow in other countries, 

 fome of them of a very large dimenfion, 

 all which might be propagated by the 

 methods hereafter to be fet down , but 

 there is one particular kind that was 

 brought to light by that great difcoverer 

 of vegetative nature, Dr. Martin Lifter , 

 in that part of the country of Tork cal- 

 led Craven 5 in fylvis martonenfibus prope 

 ftagnum Tinno di6ium, are his words ; 

 which is by Job. Batihintis called the 

 ftingiis piper atiis albus laEieo fiicco tur- 

 gens, or the milky pepper mufhroom 5 

 and by the long defcription that great 

 naturalift gives, is a moft excellent kind, 

 and poflefs'd with all the good qualities 

 that can be found in a mufhroom 5 par- 

 ticularly that it never changes its co- 

 lour in boiling, (^c, which is an induce- 

 ment fufficient to procure the earth, and 

 raife them elfewhere, as fhall be here- 

 after defcribed.
