FIELD STUDY OF MUSHROOMS

(AGARICACEAE)

USE THE BLANK ON REVERSE SIDE

Field study is necessary in case of Mushrooms with. soft

fleshy texture. They cannot be prepared for the herbarium in any way that will fully retain the characters of the fresh plant.

But dried specimens are not useless-prepared with care they serve to interpret the descriptions that are drawn up from the fresh specimens.

Abundant specimens should be dried quickly by fire-heat in

a wire rack placed over a stove or lamp. They should then be stored in pasteboard boxes-not moistened and pressed flat as is sometimes advised.

To kill larvae or infesting insects: Put the specimens in a small box with tight-fitting lid and with them place a little

Carbon Bisulphide (in a small dish, or satuLrate a wad of cotton); this volatile substance will prove effectual in an hour or in

several hours if specimens are large. The vapor of the Carbon Bisulphide is highly inflamminable-do not use it at night or near a stove. It is well to keep moth balls in the boxes with the specimens.

The blank on the reverse side and the ideas above are com piled for the miiost part from Prof. Earle's article in Torreya. He also adds the pertinent suggestion that the discriptions be sup plemented by photographs and water-color sketches.

It is scarcely necessary to add that an ample quantity of complete specimens should be at hand when making out the descriptions; the plants should be dsug up or a portion of the

matrix removed-never broken off and leaving the basal part. All stages in development should be illustrated. Particularly the change of colors should be noted. Gills, for example, as well as spores when inmmature miay be pure white, but take on a char

acteristic color with age. It is suggested that Prang's nomen clature of colors be used. ("The Prang Standard of Color," Popular Edition, No. 1, One Dollar; Louis Prang, Boston, Mass.)
