MAKING USE OF PUFFBALLS

PuffballS are the safest Of all fungi
for the beginner. none of them being
poisonous; and they are at the same
time excellent and easy to obtain,
writes William A. Murrill, assistant di
rector of the New York Botanical gar
den, in the American Museum Journal.
Being tender, they cook quickly and
are easily digested. They should as a
rule be cut open before cooking to see
that they are not too old and that they
are really puffballs. If they are white

amanita contains the young cap and
stem inside, which are readily seen
when the "egg" Is cut; and the EGG"
Of the stinkhorn shows the stem and a
green mass inside surrounded by lay

Puffballs may be cooked alone In va

recommended for the ordinary mush-

inferior in flavor to the larger ones
and need few specimens of some
