SPRING ‘CROP' OF MUSHROOMS IS FOm LARGE Abundant Growth Caused by Summer Drought, Says County Agent. Fear of mushrooms—which this year are more plentiful in Marion county than for many years—because they contain poison, practically is unfounded and the result of misunderstanding. City dwellers who long for an appetizing dish of mushrooms but balk at searching for them may take consolation from an announcement of Clarence Henry, county agent. Henry said today that more mushroom experts are scouring the hills of the county this spring with success than ever before. He further said that those who lag behind in search for this food should know “that there is little

danger of getting a poison mushroom in the spring, for gathering them is as safe as picking strawberries.” “The mushroom season will last for two or three weeks yet,” Henry said, “and tables of many city families should be supplied with the common sponge or Morel variety." A few warnings for the norice who starts the quest for mushrooms were issued by Henry. They are: 1. Never pick mushrooms in shady places. 2. The novice should avoid wild mushrooms that have white gills and yellowish top skins. 3. Toadstools, as commonly known, with a ring around the stem and silky white gills oftentimes are poisonous, and, although uncommon, should be left alone. This last variety is said to contain the same alkaloid as the rattlesnake has in its stinger; consequently, the after effect of eating it usually is fatal, Henry warned. Conjecture as to the cause for the abundant supply of mushrooms this season was advanced by Henry. He attributes the increase to an oversupply of nitrogen in the soil. “I am inclined to believe that the dry hot summer and lack of rainfall probably might have brought about the abundance of mushrooms,’’ the county agent declared.
