Excerpt from Michigan Mushrooms: A Few of the Common Edible Fungi Occurring in the State The abundance and variety of fleshy fungi found growing in dooryards, fields and woods at certain seasons of the year have doubtless attracted the attention of many persons in this State. These plants are especially numerous during the spring and autumn months and whenever there is a plentiful rainfall during the summer. However, they are usually passed by and left for the worms or scattered with a kick. Thus a free offering frequently near our very door-step may be neglected or spurned while the same product is being imported from foreign lands and sold for a high price in the markets. Naturally the question arises why pay fifty cents to one dollar a pound for mushrooms from France or for hot house grown material when a generous supply of the same, or of equally desirable species, is going to waste about us? There are many persons in our State who would be glad to eat our native mushrooms were it not for fear of poisoning. That this fear is well founded is shown by the fact that many cases of severe illness and even loss of life are annually recorded through carelessness in the indis criminate eating of fungi. Moreover the prevailing ignorance and superstition regarding these plants have added to the uncertainty which seemed to attend their use as food. And while this fear has often served a useful purpose in restrain ing many persons from carelessness in the eating of mushrooms, it has also prevented them from making use of a highly esteemed natural food product, obtainable often without expense other than the effort necessary to gather it.
