Book Description

Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Botanist: Made to the Regents of the University, Pursuant to Chapter 355 of the Laws of 1883 In consequence of unexpected delay and difficulty in issuing the descriptions and illustrations of our edible and poisonous mushrooms in a separate publication, as was at first contemplated, it has been thought best to include them with other matter in the present report. The edition will be somewhat limited and may not be sufficient to supply the demand unless the issue of extra copies shall be authorized, but it will be better than a longer delay, and is apparently the best that can be done at present. This part of the Report is marked F. The specimens of fungi that were taken from the Herbarium and placed on exhibition at the World's Fair in Chicago last year have been returned. None were lost, but owing to damp ness a few were injured by mold. They are yet in the boxes in which they were returned, not having been removed because of the possibility that the New York State exhibits might be required for a permanent exhibit at home.
