 blest; A dearer sweeter spot than all the

washed and soaked bit for cooking baking OF
salads. Cook books and mushroom books alike
give ample recipes for various methods Of pre-
pairing mushrooms for the table
The mushroom IN form Of a slime mould was
the first plant to evolve on earth. The algae
plants of the first seas thrust out fungus on
land TO draw minerals from the overhanging
rocks. On this primitive fungus ichens evolved
and the three plants interfed each other. three
hundred million years ago and today Later
true mushrooms evolved at first with small caps
forming the first food supply for the later
irving living creatures.
The antiquity of the mushroom S establish
ment in history mag be read both in the Bible
and the treatises of the Talmud The mama
that saved the IsraeiteS has been identified as
mushroom Of commerce growing in It's natura
wild condition.
In another Tamudic treatise it is stated that
the people went out into the fields and gathered
for themselves fungi and boleti, - which, by the
way. are one and the same thing, one having
lower gill surface and the other under pore
surface The lexicon of the ChaldeeS contains
words the equivalent of which fungi and
boleti and the Chaldees are credited as the first
Of the sO-called civilized nations, although all
recent evidence points 10 their derivation from
the vastly more ancient civilized peoples Of
Mexico.
Boleti and truffles were favored by the
Romans in general, but not in particular BY
royalty and nobility, who liked other types.
Many Roman authors refer % their high edible
qualities. and even made quasi attempts at scien
tifc classification. They also had special vessels
in which TO cook bclet called Boletaria, CORES

mercial mushrooms are now served on the tables
of the wealthy. One Roman writer represents
that gold and silver could be sent by messenger
but not boleti, for messengers would be sure 70

For local boards everywhere we have
now immense number of biologists
who have qualified at the various col ~
leges, universities and institutions ~
biologist would be able with but little ~
preparation to master the science OF -
mycOOgy and be able to instruct local
communities.
Teaching a knowledge of edible
mushrooms should be inaugurated
during the Summer vacations. for
adults and young, in every district
school, high school and all other in
stitutions of learning, is done In
France At each school should be appointed
local official chemist to determine if any species
gathered be poisonous or noxious or otherwise
unfit for food, so that each community could
concentrate its harvesting upon the edible
species
For convenience it may be assumed that there
are two main divisions of edible mushrooms
growing wild, those having gills on the under
surface of the caps and those having pores. The
cellar mushroom of commerce. is a good example
Of the gilled type. The pore surfaced type are
called boleti and as a rule, present the largest
quantity of food supply, after cutting of the
stems and pore surface. II is fortunate that the
bOleti having the best edible qualities grow IN
the greatest profusion. / refer principally to
Boletus scaber. easily recognized by lsyman
because it is the only mushroom with q stout
stem Scabbed with black spots and lines
Most often the caps are orange color and the
pore surface the underside pure white. In
piny tracts they are very abundant, the caps
weighing from one to three pounds, productive
of a large food supply. They may be sliced and
cooked same as the egg plant
| would call the attention of the public to
one type of mushrooms productive of the vastest
food supply the year around and which no one
can mistake | refer TO the PleurOtus genus.
These mushrooms grow singly or In clusters on
dead stubs, logs and stunps. They are either
white or cream color and can be seen from dis
lance One species grows on living elms in the
Autumn and is very thick with flesh Another
species, Sapidus fruits in sufficiently vast guam
titles TO feed large populations
This year tons Of it have gone TO waste IN
New York City and environs It has literally
covered whole lengths of high stubs and long
logs It must be gathered, however, orly when
it is white. Often after the caps mature
they are attacked by yellow slime mould which,
while it is not poisonous, robs the mushroom of
It's edible qualities. Another species, Ostreatus,
usually cream color, but sometimes. k1tze gray in
Autumn. has the taste and flavor of the oyster.
It fruits in very heavy clusters, some as large
as cabbages.
For that matter. most edible species of mush-
rooms excel all sther material for salads. with
either French or mayonnaise dressing Mush-
rooms may be dried for future use, either in the
sun or oven by merely cutting off the stems.

449 and sold in America at an advance of %
per cent. These were all wild mushrooms and
do not take into account the tons Of cultivated
mushrooms which were consumed abroad and
imported.
To add this enormous supply of food to our
dwindling supplies our Government should
create at Washington a central mushroom board
of control with some such man as Dr. Frederic
E. Clements, of the Carnegie Institution, as its
chairman.
DR.. Clements as State BOtanist, inaugurated
a popular mushroom conservation movement IN
Minnesota, and handed to each citizen of that
State copy of his booklet, Minnesota Mush-
rooms which told of the principal edible
species and how to prepare them for food. He
is also author of the standard work entitled
''Plant Succession" In addition he could have
on his boards Mrs. Flora w Patterson, govern
ment mycologist of the Department of Agricul-
ture and the many members of the Bureau of
Plant Industry.
At the head of each State Board should be
placed the State botanist and State chemists.

TN these days Of food conservation It
is extraordinary that government
effort is not made to conserve
food crop worth at least a billion dol
lars year, and which each year is allowed to
90 to waste This billion-dOlla source of food
is the wild mushroom crops of the United
States When l place its figure at a billion dol
lars / am speaking cOnservatively because the
late Professor Atwater, of Middletown Univer-
sty. the greatest chemist America has ever pro
duced. estimated that the supply of edible mush
rooms which is annually lost through ignorance
and indifference has greater cash value than
the whole agricultural crop. Professor Atwater
demonstrated that the mushroom contains all the
principal food elements of flesh, fowl, fish, vege
tables and fruits.
But it is important to say right here that no
one should pick eat a wild mushroom unless
he or she knows thoroughly what it is.
Europe has long known the value of this
crop. Every European government has de
partment which supervises the conservation of
the wild mushroom supply. There are mush-
room schools in every hamlet and the people are
educated to tell as readily the difference between
the edible varieties and the poisonous ones as
American children are to know the difference
between white and brown -four

countries, consular reports show that the year
