Certain characteristics Ofstin-

Care, Says Agricultural
Expert.

Every year there are q few cases
OF mushroom poisoning. In some in
stances the individual IL only made
sick. while In other cases the results
are fatal.
It Is difficult to lay down any hard
and fast rules that can be used to dis.
tinguish between edible and poisonous
mushrooms. In some cases a species
that may be harmless for one individ.
uaf nay cause serious digestive dis

Of Amanitas, says w. w. Robbins Of

There are number Of Species of

white gills, ring about the stem Just

Do not place any reliance In the
many popular and traditional tests OF
poisonous or edible qualities. These
tests are entirely worthless. The dis.
coloration Of silver spoon: sinking

no indication of either poisonous or
edible qualities. Furthermore, the
notion that poisonous mushrooms can
be rendered harmless by boiling In
water and then washing thoroughly In
cold water Is erroneous.
One can easily become familiar with
q few edible kinds Of mushrooms.
There are many Of these springing up
