mushrooms. And apparently they
always have. for as far back as
400 Be. Hippocrates mentioned
that they were consumed in large
quantities, as well as being ex-
ported from Greece TO an eager
market in other countries It II
believed that Greece FIRST dis
covered" mushrooms through the
Egyptians, who regarded the fungi
as magic food. because 1t ap-
peared so mysteriously overnight.
The Greeks called it food for the
aods. and In Rome 1t was so highly
regarded as q delicacy that laws
were passed restricting its sale.
so that mushrooms were beyond
the reach of the common man,
and worthy only OF q high place
on princes tables.
Later on in Europe all kinds OF
mushrooms were relished oy
prince and peasant alike. These
were, for the most part. wild fungi
gathered in the fields. But mush-
rooms were certainly cultivated as
early as 800 BE-, and reached
successful peak in the l7tn
century when the French discov-
cred that the abandoned caves
and quarries in the vicinity OF
Paris made perfect breeding beds.
Then the art crossed the Channel
into England. where lighthouses
were used in lieu of caves. Here
| in America, about so years ago.
under special, new methods OF
cultivation, mushroom raising de-
veloped on a grand, year-'round
scale.
These cultivated mushrooms
have to their advantage that one
knows they are perfectly safe to
eat-but they do not have the
special zest and tang Of the wild
variety. However, one must know
his mushrooms" II he Is setting
forth to fill his basket from the
fields, for it is all too easy to in
clude a deadly variety in the lot.
1t Is the better part Of valor to
take along an illustrated book on
fungi, such as Nina Lane Faub-
ions Some Edible Mushrooms,
and study it when in doubt.

The Chef Says ..

Miss Faubion points out that the
deadly Destroying Angel or
Anaanita, when young. in It's but
ton form. is almost impossible TO
tell from the healthful neld
mushroom. Therefore, the novice
should never gather fungi In the
button stage before the gills show.
The gills Of the Amanita are
WHITE, while those Of the
meadow mushroom are pink. later
turning brown. Also. most Of the
Amanita family grows In or at
the edge Of woods: q good general
rule Is never to pick what you
think Is o meadow mushroom In
the woods. And don't rely on
grandmother's tests. such as q
silver spoon when cooked with
mushrooms will turn black TO in
dicate the presence OF an Amanita
In the pot. 1t won't.

Opening lead: King Of hearts.
Hand valuation is not the exact
science that many would make it
out to be- Here as elsewhere, rigid
tty is to be avoided. What started
out as q minimum hand need not
always remain so, for drastic
changes may occur under different
environments.
You may have opened the bidding
with a hand that contained side
king, to which you assigned the
value of half a trick, or three points,
according to your taste. But when
the player on your left vigorously
bids that suit it is obvious that you
should discount the value of that
king.
On the other hand, the suit in
which you hold that king may be
one which your partner names with
enthusiasm, in which case it is no
longer a half trick, but assumes the
value of an ace. So it is with single
tons, some are worthless because
partner has the high cards in that
suit, others may be the key to the
success of the hand.
South opened with one club, West
overcalled with one heart and North
was faced with an immediate prob
lem. His selection of bids may seem
peculiar to some players, who will
ask, why only two diamonds with
such a powerhouse?"
I do not see that any other bid is
suitable. In hands of this type econ
omy of bidding space is an essential
consideration There is so much to
do and so little time in which to do
it. An effort should be made to al
low space for the description of the
several pertinent facts about the
North hand. If there were an ac-
cepted means of describing this hand
all at once I should be all for it, but
In the absence of such a call one
should make haste slowly.
South's raise to three diamonds
was obvious and North found 1t ex-
pedient to daily again. Though
somewhat irregular, his bid of three
spades is well chosen. Since he is
the responder, the naming of a new
suit forces his partner to bid once
more. South could do nothing but
return to four diamonds. North
could plainly infer that his partner
held the king-queen Of diamonds
and ace-queen of clubs, and that the
slam depended on South's heart
holding. If he held two hearts there
was no big business to be transacted
but If he held a singleton a slam
should be easy.
He had no choice but to bid flve
clubs. Since South had never reblo
the suit, such a call must denote
pretty important clubs. A thought
less South might check out at this
point, on the ground that he had
opened q minimum hand contain
Ing only ~ honor tricks and that
