About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...anastomosing and forming pores near the stem, becoming brownish when touched: sometimes the gills are entirely replaced by pores, and then it resembles Boletus; stem fleshy, firm, solid, thickened upwards, naked, dingy yellowish, spotted. A very common and somewhat large inhabitant of woods and open places near woods, from summer to early winter. Said to be edible, and highly esteemed in Russia; it is eaten in Belgium. It was tried by the Woolhope Club at Hereford, in 1870, but was not much approved. Sometimes a brilliant yellow parasitic mould, Hypomyces chrysospermus, grows upon the gills. Paxillus involutus Fr. (One-quarter natural size.) Genus VII. HYGROPHORUS Fr. The pileus is viscid or watery; the gills are not truly membranous, but thick and of a waxy consistency, with a sharp edge; the spores are white. All the species are terrestrial; most are fragrant or pleasantly scented, but H. fcetens Phill. has a disgusting nauseous odour. There are sixty-one British species, nine of which are represented by models. 86. H. eburneus Fr.--Pileus convexo-plane, margin at first involute and pubescent, even, very glutinous in rainy weather; gills decurrent, distant, veined; stem stuffed, then hollow, glutinous, apex granular, A somewhat frequent inhabitant of woods, pastures, and grassy roadsides from August to October. The whole fungus is shiningwhite. Said to be edible; odour weak, not unpleasant. 87. H. cossus Fr.--Pileus glutinous, somewhat ochraceous, margin never pubescent; stem granular at apex, tinted faintly ochraceous. Frequent in woody places from September to November. It greatly resembles H. eburneus in appearance but is easily distinguished by a very powerful odour, like that of the goat-moth. 88. H. hypothejus Fr.--Pileus at first olivaceous, glutin...
