Having followed these directions in this case it will have been
seen that the spores are white.)
After consulting the list of "Yellow and Orange" he will find that the
first one mentioned is Cantharellus cibarius, the Chantarelle. The
description resembles that of the mushroom found in every particular.
Now let the beginner go further, and prove the correctness of the name
in another way. Turning to the section called "General Helps to the
Memory," on page 68, and reading the names of the different genera under
the headings until he comes to the name Cantharellus, he will find it in
the table called "Mushrooms with gills running down the stems
(decurrent)." This distinction is apparent in the specimen found. Again,
let him turn to the list of white-spored Agarics, page 73, and he will
find the name of the genus Cantharellus there. Now, as an additional
test, let him turn to the key at the end of this work, the key to
Hymenomycetes. He must have learned enough by this time to know that his
mushroom belongs to this class, namely, the one that has spores produced
upon the lower part of the cap, and, also, that it is an Agaric, from
its having gills on the under side.
