THE DAILY ALASKAN
SKAGWAY ALASKA
HOW TO TELL THE
REAL MUSHRUOM
With mushrooms plentiful in tho
vicinity of Skagway, it "will be a
relief to a great many people to
l>e be able to determine the eillble
variety from thoir deadly cousins.
The following article, which was giv
en iu a "faculty chat" by Profes
sor John \V. Hotson, of the botany
department of tho University of
Washington reoently, should throw
some light upon the subject
"How can I distinguish a toad
stool from a mushroom? 13 there
any rule by which an ainatour may
distinguish these forms?" These
questions and recent warm 'rains
announce the fact that the mush
roorn season is hare again.
There is no scientific distinction
between the expression "toadstool"
and "mushroom." "Toadstool" is
not a botaatlcal term, but merely
a popular name to designate pois
onous mushrooms, bo that what Is
really meant by the first question
is how to distinguish edible from
poisonous mushrooms.
Puff Bulls Edible
The second question is easily
inswered—there Is 110 rule Jjy which
in amateur or anyone else can
iistiuguish the edible from tlio
poisonous forma. A-l popular rules
suggested lor this purpose are un
reliable when made general.
The first question is not so easi
ly answered and this difficulty is
largely due to the absence of any
;eueral 'rule, as already mentioned,
rhe only safe way is to becom© fa
miliar -with certain definite species
mthoritatively pronounced edible
1'he edible fungi found commonly- oa
Lhe campus and adjacent localities
ire as follows:
1. All puff balls are edible, some
)f them being among the most de
icious of the food species. When
he spores ripen, however, becoming
jrown or black, they are past the
fdible stage.
Shaggy Maucs Flue
2. All the Clavarias (white or I
i>ink, erect, branching tree-like or
:oral-like fungi) that are not bitter
»r tough are edibla.
3. Ttie Morells are edible, not |
)uo being even suspicious. They
ire not gill-fungi, but moro or
less club-shaped iu form with deep
leprcs6ions all over the surface.
4. The "shaggymane'* (Copri
utus cr-matus) is one of our com
monest edible epocies and is es-1
pecially tender and ol delicate fla
vor. It is somewhat, club-shaped
or cylindrical in form when young.
When mature it is readily distin-1
guished by deliquescent gills, which,
produce a black, inky liquid.
G. The common cultivated mush
rooms have pink gills, which be- I
come purplish brown or black at
maturity. The stem is marked by
a. ring or annulus. They are found, •
growing in meadows and opeu fields!
seldom, if over, 'n the woods.
At old "White Mushrooms
In general, then, avoid all whito
spored forms because tho most
poisonous species belong to this
group. Among the white-spared
species there are found some fine
flavored edible forms, which are,
however, not readily distinguished
by the amateur and, therefore, it
1b wise to avo!<l the whole group.
Persons poisoned by mushrooms
should call a doctor promptly, but
home treatment while awaiting his
arrival is possible. The first step
should be to take an emetic. Mus
tard and water or warm salt water
will serve. After that the "victim j
should take whiskey or sweet oil.
VinegaT is a fair substitute for
whiskey. Whenever possible the
doctor should be apprised, when
called of the occasion for the Ill
ness. Hypodermic injections of
atropine are frequently employed by
physicians in Buch cases.
T»«th on Thalr Tongues.
The biggest of fresh water' fishes,
the "arapaima" of the Amnison, in
South America, which grows to six
feet in length, has teeth on its tongue,
so that the latter resembles the file
and is used as such. Same kinds of
trout also have the same peculiarity.
Fishes that swallow their prey entire
havo their teeth so supported on flexi
ble bases as to bend backward, but
not forward, in order that their vic
tims shall not escape after they have
been once seized.

Grazed In th« Fog.
It Is not usual for a ship ou" the high
seas to elect to cast anchor on the deck
of a passing steamer, but that is what
a four masted schooner did once in the
Atlantic. The two vessels grazed ln:t.be
fog. and tho "catted" poit> anchor of
the schooner caught in theS steamer's
deck "by a fluke." It fastened to an en
gineer's stateroom in such aimaaner as
to bar his exit, but fortunately the
chain parted Just as the rooan was be
ing ripped into fragments. The schooner
followed the steamer to lts^destinatisn
I to recover her anchor. . _

If those alone who "towed the

of diplomacy seek their victims prin

error of court, cabinet or camp.

er and of authority it may be com
