It has been stated that there is no one mark by means of which an edible mushroom may be known from a poisonous species. In order to use the wild forms of the cultivated mushroom, or to cultivate the wild forms which may be of value, it is necessary to know something of the form and appearance of the important groups of these plants. Unfortunately, the child seldom grows up with such knowledge of these plants as it has attained in the case of the birds or snakes which it may also have seen in field or forest. The cultivated mushroom (Agaricus campcstris) is perhaps best known, and its general appearance may therefore be described, before attempting to compare with it the wild edible species. The general umbrella form of the plant is famil- iar to all. In its dirterent varieties the color may vary from almost white to deep brown or even sometimes to purplish brown, so far as the cap, or upper expanded part, is concerned. Moreover, the plant consists of a centrally placed stipe, or stem, three or more inches high, bearing the expanded cap. Toward the upper end of the stem, in the mature plant, there is attached a small ring, or annulus, and in the early stages this ring is in the form of a veil, that is, a structure connecting the edges of the cap, technically known as the pileus,.
