Excerpt from Observations on Recent Cases of Mushroom Poisoning in the District of Columbia Fig. 1 represents the common mushroom. The second specimen from the left is a young one, not yet expanded, commonly called a button. The specimen at the extreme left is a somewhat larger button viewed from the top, showing the slightly checked surface that some times occurs ih this species. Typically in fresh specimens the sur face is white, but various shades of light brown, either plain or checked, are Often found. The specimen at the right is slightly expanded and, like the largest fully expanded Specimen at its left, shows the gills on the lower surface of the cap. These gills in a newly expanded mushroom fresh from the field are of a beautiful and delicate pale pink color, Often with a tinge Of salmon. As in all the gill-bearing fungi mentioned in this paper, the gills end toward the center with an abrupt upward curve without being attached to the stem as in some other kinds Of mushrooms. As they grow Older, especially after they are picked, the gills turn in a few hours to a light brown and finally to a dark chestnut-brown.
