TeachEKS Leaflet, 1105 Second, avoid the young or button stages, since they are similar in appearance in species that are edible and those that are poisonous. Third, avoid those that have milky juices, unless the juices are reddish in color, the mushrooms should not be eaten. Fourth, avoid those with shiny, thin, or brightly colored caps, and those with whitish or clay-colored spores. Fifth, no mushroom or puffball should be eaten after its meat has begun to turn brown or has become infested with fly larvae. Lesson I HOW MUSHROOMS LIVE Purpose.— To enable the pupils to understand the growth and habits of these strange, seedless, leafless plants. Method and Material.— The ideal method would be to study the mush- rooms in the field and forest, making an excursion for the purpose of collect- ing as many species as possible. But the lesson may be given from specimens brought into the schoolroom by pupils, care being taken to bring with them the soil or dead wood or leaves on which they were found growing. After study- ing one species thus, encourage pupils to bring in as many others as possible. There are a few terms which the pui)ils should learn to use, and the best method of teaching them is to place the dia- grams (see page 6) on the blackboard and leave them there while these studies are given. As mushrooms are especially good subjects for water-color and pencil studies, it would add much to the interest of the work if each jnipil or the school as a whole should finally have a portfolio of sketches of all the species found. With each drawing there should be made on a supplementary sheet a sporc-i)rint of the species. White paper should be covered very thinly with whitc-of-cgg or mucilage so as to hold fast the discha
