To
Distinguish
Mushrooms
from
Poisonous
Fungi.
i.
Sprinkle
a
little
salt
on
the
spongy
part
or
gills
of
the
sample
to
be
tried.
If
they
turn
yellow,
they
are
poisonous,--if
black,
they
are
wholesome.
Allow
the
salt
to
act,
before
you
decide
on
the
question.
ii.
False
mushrooms
have
a
warty
cap,
or
else
fragments
of
membrane,
adhering
to
the
upper
surface,
are
heavy,
and
emerge
from
a
vulva
or
bag;
they
grow
in
tufts
or
clusters
in
woods,
on
the
stumps
of
trees,
&c.,
whereas
the
true
mushrooms
grow
in
pastures.
iii.
False
mushrooms
have
an
astringent,
styptic,
and
disagreeable
taste.
When
cut
they
turn
blue.
They
are
moist
on
the
surface,
and
generally
of
a
rose
or
orange
colour.
iv.
The
gills
of
the
true
mushroom
are
of
a
pinky
red,
changing
to
a
liver
colour.
The
flesh
is
white.
The
stem
is
white,
solid,
and
cylindrical.

Cookery
for
Soldiers
Sailors,
Travellers,
and
Emigrants.
The
following
seven
receipts
are
due
to
the
inventive
genius
of
the
late
Alexis
Soyer,
who
at
one
time
was
chief
cook
of
the
Reform
Club:
1131.
Stewed
Salt
Beef
and
Pork.
Put
into
a
saucepan
about
two
pounds
of
well-soaked
beef,
cut
in
eight
pieces;
half
a
pound
of
salt
pork,
divided
in
two,
and
also
soaked:
half
a
pound
of
rice,
or
six
tablespoonfuls;
a
quarter
of
a
pound
of
onions,
or
four
middle-sized
ones,
peeled
and
sliced;
two
ounces
of
brown
sugar,
or
a
large
tablespoonful;
a
quarter
of
an
ounce
of
pepper,
and
five
pints
of
water;
simmer
gently
for
three
hours,
remove
the
fat
from
the
top,
and
serve.
This
dish
is
enough
for
six
people,
and
it
cannot
fail
to
be
excellent
if
the
receipt
be
closely
followed.
Butchers'
salt
meat
will
require
only
a
four
hours'
soaking,
having
been
but
lightly
pickled.
