One of the earliest steps in becoming familiar with the Fungi is 
to learn how to find out their names. It has been suggested, 
therefore, that perhaps some simple outline of the classification of 
the Fungi might be found acceptable in this series. In such a 
classification only the larger species will be considered, and for the 
most part only those classes which are represented in this and the 
preceding series will be included. Strict scientific accuracy will in 
some cases have to be sacrificed for the sake of simplicity. 
Suppose then we meet with one of the larger Fungi, we may make 
use of the following table to determine to which of the main classes 
it belongs : — 
A. Whole Fungus under ground. Truffles (Tuberaceae), 
B. Most of Fungus above ground.
