BEWARE or TOADST0OLs.

Mushrooms are now with us The
extreme warm weather and the warm
rains that we have had during the
past week. have brought an abun-
dance of this vegetable luxury to the
surface of the ground, and in the
pasture lands in the early morning
the epicure who enjoys this edible
fungi can now be seen gathering his
days supply.
AS there are a number of mush-
rooms gathered and sold, it is well
that the cook should be well acquaint-
ed with the different sort of things
called by this name by ignorant people
as the deaths of many persons have
been caused by using poisonous kinds.
The edible mushrooms first appear
very small, of a round form (these are
termed buttons), and very small
stalk, They grow very fast, and the
upper part of the stalks are white.
AS the size increases the under part
gradually opens and shows a fringe
Cor what is termed by some, gills),
of a very fine salmon color, which
continues more or less until the mush-
room has been picked, when it turns
brown. The skin can be more easily
peeled from the genuine mushroom
than from the poisonous kind.
An eminent authority on mushrooms
in describing mushrooms, says it is
most readily distinguished when of
middle size, by its fine pink or flesh
colored gills and pleasant smell. In
the more advanced stage of growth,
the gills become of a chocolate color
and at this time is more apt to be
confounded with other kinds of dubi-
Gus quality; but that species which
most nearly resembles 1.-THE toad
stools Shiny to the touch, destitute
of fine odor, and has a disagreeable
smell
Again the noxious kinds generally
grow in woods, while the true mush-
room spring up chiefly in the open
pasture, and should be gathered only
in such places, unwholesome fungi
will sometimes spring up on artificial
beds in gardens, thus, when the spawn
begins to run spurious breed is Of
ten found to precede a crop of genu-
inc mushrooms.
The poisonous toadstool may gener-
ally be detected by the presence OF
a sickly, nauseous smell, though some
of the hurtful kinds are so free from
anything disagreeable in the smell
as to make any criterion drawn from
this method of telling the safe from
the unsafe, very delicate matter.
But one of the best tests we know
of, when there is any doubt, is to
sprinkle a little salt on the spongy
part of gills of the sample to be tried
If they turn black they are whole
some, if they turn yellow they are
poisonous. Be sure you give the salt
a little time to act before you decide
as to their quality
