THE DEATH CUP.
This Deadly Fungus Resembles Sew
eral Edible MushrOOms.


eral Edible Mushrooms.
Perhaps the most deadly Of the poi
sonous fungi Of our woods and fields
is the fairly we'll known death cup
(Amanita phalloides). particularly dan
gerous from its resemblance to several
Of the edible mushrooms, though gath
ering fungi for the table should be
undertaken by none save those thor
Oughly acquainted with the different
species, as it is altogether too easy for
the ignorant enthusiast to make an er-
ror which may prove fatal to his
friends.
The death cup referred to has a
round cap, white, yellowish or green
fish in COLOR and the stem has IL swollen
base, surrounded by an envelope. or
veil, of a white tilmy substance, which
parts as the stalk extends upward
This stalk is pithy when young, but
hollow at maturity, and the eills of the
cap, which in the meadow mushrooms
are pink or brown. are white in the
deadly variety. as are also the spores,
which can be plainly seen if the cap
is laid, giHs downward. Oh u piece OF
colored paper for a few hours. The
swollen, or Dubious, base is Il dstin-
gushing characteristic. and no fungus
of that appearance should be "a there,l
for cooking. One of the liabilities is
that these caps may be broken Off
without due observance Of its base
which is often covered with earth or
dead grasses, hence not distinguished
from some of the lepiotas Which. how
ever, are never surrounded with the
filmy veil of the death cup.
The POISONOUS property OF this fungus
is largely the same as that found in tne
venom of u rattleSnake and also in
cholera and diphtherif, and SO far sci
ence is unable to produce any satiSfac-
tory antidotc atropine, the stomach
pump and oil purgutives being about
the only resources. Washington Post.
