About this book
The book presents thirty native food varieties of mushrooms and toadstools, identifying them by their marked individual characteristics and offering simple rules for recognising poisonous species. The stated purpose is a practical handbook on mushrooms as food, prompted by the lack of works available for reference when the author began seeking them. The author describes the volume as an imperfect fulfilment of a resolve prompted by the absence of such reference works.
The account of Agaricus Ulmarius describes a mushroom often seen on the trunks and branches of elms, rarely singly and sometimes in dense masses covering several square feet. The description of Agaricus Ulmarius says the species is most frequently found on apparently healthy branches or the wood of a severed limb, with a season in late summer and autumn.
