A Warning from an Expert In Greenfield Who Recently Found a Family Ready to Eat Deadly Plants. Brattleboro, in common with many other Now England towns, is a victim of tlio mushroom craze this season. Thnt tho people who gnthor mushrooms with out any knowledge of tho dangerous vnrletles aro flirting with dnngcr or per haps death Is a sobering fact, and the warning which Mrs. Francis B. Wells sounds through tlio columns of tho Greenfield Gazette makes interesting rending In this connection. Sho snys: Tiio cool damp nights and tho hot sunshlno of those September days have brought up tho mushrooms In great abundance. Some one has said "The whole town has gone mad over tile gathering of mushrooms." I think a word of caution will not be taken amiss by those who have taken up this fns clnating study of fungolozy. I am writing this partly In self defence, be cause so many people have lieen coming to us recently, saying, "Aro theso good?" or "Arc these toadstools or mushrooms?" It Is well for nil amateurs to undcr Mtand in the beginning that It Is only popular prejudice that differentiates the toadstool and the mushroom. "How then shall wo distinguish mushrooms from tho toadstools?" There is no way of distinguishing them for they are one nnd the same, snys an eminent author ity, and always benr In mind thnt there are fatal, as well ns edible, mushrooms. Sometime ago a man brought three mushrooms to us nnd asked the usual questions. We replied: "Yes, those arc edible," and named the spocles. He went off delighted, saying tho family hud been gntncrlng them and were going to hnve them for lunch. Before lunch time, we became uneasy alwut those mushrooms nnd decided to lose no lime In getting to his house and seeing what tho family had. To our horror and dis may they brought out a basket filled with mushrooms, which to nn amateur aeemed alHiut of a color and sie. There were some edible ones among the collec tion, some wholly unknown to us, nnd enough doubtful nnd poisonous ones to kill the whole family. Mr. Wells lost no time In seeing the whole collection des troyed nnd burned in the kitchen range. The mushrooms shown him in the lxgln ning were edible and a line variety. Since this little episode 1 have taken no chances, "Sight unseen," ns the chil dren say. 'Phe gathering of mushrooms grows more and 'more fascinating, pos sibly because there is an element of danger In It. I have studied them for 20 years and continue to feel that a lit tle knowledge Is n dangerous thing. Al though I have known and cooked 13 varieties, every mushroom that I gather Is carefully insjiected before cooking. The Agnricus Cninpetstris or moadow mushroom Is tho one that has been found In profusion nt the Country Club during the last 10 dnys, and many hnve been brought in, always with the ques tion, "Are they good ones?" This Is known ns "The mushroom" partly lcaupe it Is cosily cultivated and is usually the mushroom of com merce. When it first comes up, it Is round or globular In shape and has a sweet and nutty flavor when eaten raw, and In this condition is a mot delicious vegetable food. It Is easily distinguish ed by the color of the gills, which in the unopened specimens arc of a pallid flesh tint, which becomes pink ns tho cap ex pands and Anally grows purplish or brown and Anally black when it is no more lit to eat than is a putrid piece of meat. 11 Is well for everyone to know thnt m.ishrooms should be gathered with a knife so that ono may get every bit of the plant from Uio ground. Ono can then bo sure that there Is no bulb or cup from whUh It springs. A cup being a sure sign of its being a poisonous varie ty. Another thing to remember is thnt mushroom" should be gnthered when '.cry young nnd fresh nnd placed on Ice as soon ns ono can get to a refrigerator. They shruld be gathered carefully nnd the erd i.f the stem cut off, after exam ination, and then be laid In a basket, gills down so that no sand nor enrth can tiittle down mid so soil tho plant as lo m.iko It untHilntable. Tho caps should be carefully peeled before cook ing nnd the stem can be cleaned and used nlo 1 d not sny that all mushrooms rre unlit to cook which are wide open and t Jilted dark. In fact I ntn sorry to .sny this Is the kind that Is oftenest exposed fjr snlf. But any one who hns enten them In the proper stage of grow.h knows, that they have lost the right '.cx tuie, uillcacy nnd flavor. Tho liquid which comes from them In cooking should be light in color nnd after the cream lr ndded it Is n delicate creamy vl.nd ; ard is very delicious and npoe tlz'ng in color and taste. I know that mushrooms wero on snle on the street Inst week which could never have been sold In any market which was under Inspection, nnd this not only because they were old, but lecause of from very careless and Igno rant pulling. People are often mndo very 111 by eating any fungous In that stale of decomposition, nltliough when the mushroom sprang from the ground It was an edible variety. I do not wish to dampen the ardor of anylKidy or destroy any enthusiasm or pleasure In this study. Go ahead, and get nil the fun you enn, only, "go slow." Conllnn yourself to this one vnrlety un til you have learned It thoroughly and cannot possibly make any mistake. Re member thnt a single one of the deadly Amanita variety, added to your collec tion would bo fatal If you ato a piece the size of a half dollar. Study the plleiis or cap, gills, stem, taste, season, and especially the manner in wnicn it springs from tho ground And when you have learned it and are sure of it, eat all you choose with your dinner or supper, only remembering thnt moderation is good in all things especially In rich food. Then go to lied nnd enjoy the sleep of the Just, not trying to wake up every hour to pinch yourself nnd so make sure thnt you are not dead.
