Common Sense In Mushroom Hunting It's mushroom season again, and here a few precautions to observe in gathering them.. Anyone who uses common sense can gather mushrooms with perfect safety, says O. L. Hogsett, safety specialist at the. University of Illinois. Most hunters commonly gather four kinds of mushrooms: the giant! puffball, meadow, morel and oyster mushrooms. The giant puffballs - are white, round, conspicuous objects that cannot be mistaken for any other mushi'oom, as there is no stem running through them. If a puffball is white all the way through and no stems runs through the -meat, it is safe to eat, - The meadow mushroom is grown commercially. You can learn about this mushroom by buying a few at a store and examining them. - THE McHfiNRY PLAINDEALER Page Fifteen The morel mushroom, better, known as the sponge mushroom, is the most commonly "hunted. Once you have seen this spongelike mushroom, you .can distinguish it from the common toadstool at a glance. Tlie last of the "big four" is the oyster mushroom, so called because of its shape. It is also called log or wood oyster because it grows in wooded areas. Like the other varieties, it is easy to identify. The stem is not attached to the center of the cap, but laterally to one side. Its most distinctive features are the gills that run down into the stem.
