The Color Test.

1t Is a very popular belief that all
mushrooms having blue, green, red
or violet colored gills are unfit for
food. This is true in some cases,
but if adopted generally 1t would ex.
clude many species that are edible.
Another popular belief is that all
mushrooms that change color when
cut are also unfit for food This again
would exclude harmless fungi If fol.
lowed too closely.
Some persons, who profess to know,
claim they can tell a good mushroom
by the presence of an agreeable odor,
The botanists, however caution us
against placing too much faith in this
test, as some of the poisonous toad.
stools are especially pleasant to our
sense of smell. other people think
that If the skin is dry it's a sure sign
that the mushroom Is wholesome.
This may be considered a good rule,
but it doesn't take into consideration
the delicious varieties of fungi that
have moist skins.
Perhaps the most popular test OF
all is the color test. It is generally
accepted that II the gills are rose
colored the mushroom is perfectly
safe But we have authority for the
statement that several poisonous vari.
cites also have rose-colored gills.

they grew is thought by some people
to be a good criterion of their whole

it is only about 100 years ago that
it was first cultivated. 1t was hor-

chased several abandoned quarries
outside the city of Paris and in them
began the cultivation of the hitherto

delicate edible.
In England the business is mainly
