MYcoLoeY's STUDY BENEFICIAL.
Good Work of Clubs Whose Purpose
Is to Prevent Mushroom Poisoning. :.

From the Boston Transcript.
Not the least interesting feature of the
Massachusetts Horticultural society's
Saturday exhibitions which closed for
the season last week. has been the show
ing of mushrooms and toadstools made
by the Boston Theological club. The
mushroom tables have always been a
center of attraction, not only to those
who were acquainted with their growths,
but to the INITIATED, who sought in vain
to determine the difference between the
edible, the delecterious and the poisonous
varieties. The demonstrations given,
when mushrooms were cooked by chafing-
dish experts, have done much to give
these unacquainted with the mushroom
an idea of it's delicacy as an article of
diet when properly cooked, and 1t Is safe
to assun e that there will be an increas-
ing interest in mushrooms In Boston as
a result of these exhibitions, which will
be continued on Saturdays for another
month.
1t is claimed, and the claim is supported
by certain statistics, that since the for
nation of theological clubs in this coun-
try there has been a decrease In the death
rate, due to the greater popular know1-
edge of mushrooms. 1t is declared that
the number of cases Of mushroom pos-
oning in this country since these clubs
were FORMED mas 1dllen OH One-half
Whether this be true or not, there would
seem to be no occasion for any mush-
room poisoning in these days. when there
are books on the subject, lessons given
in cooking schools, and weekly exhibit
lions OF mushrooms. That there are oc-
casional cases Is due, perhaps, to an in
sufficient knowledge of the subject, or a
/ lack of proper treatment of the mush-
room 1t is surprising what difference in
| flavor will be noticed when two experts
/ cook portions of the same variety of
/ mushroom, each using his own rule The
variation noticed is pretty good indi-
/ cation that mushrooms 90 not offer n
/ field for cooking experiments, from the
/ point of view of those who eat the cook
/ ed product.
1t is noticeable that upon the subject
of mushrooms there IS a widespread pop
ular ignorance. Even in the country.
/ where mushrooms are common, the farm
ers never think of eating them, in spite
/ of the fact that one of he commonest
edible varieties is the popular puff-ball
/ The fact that some of the edible varie-
ties resemble the poisonous or deleter-
ious ones acts as a deterrent in cook
ing experiments among the farmers
wives. Perhaps it is as well that this is
so, although knowledge upon the SUBJ
ject is now easily accessible. The infiu-
nnce of the theological clubs has been a
good one, and when the hearts of people
are reached through their stomachs the
work of spreading the gospel of good
things to eat is one which ought TO be
encouraged
