He carried them in his hand and, though wrapped in a paper, they made him feel quite ill. At another time he had all the symptoms of mushroom poisoning from smelling of two fine specimens sent him by a friend. The beautiful orange mushroom is also quite com- mon. It is found mostly in open woods or groves where the soil is poor. The bright coloring of the cap in contrast with the white stem and gills makes it a very showy plant. It is sometimes called the fly mush- room. There is something abou...t it that attracts flies, but to taste its juices means death to them. Dead flies are often found on the ground under it. It has been used for many centuries in making fly-poisons. From earliest times the poisonous character of this plant has been well known. The Roman emperor, Claudius, was given poisonous mushrooms to eat and died from the effects. Notwithstanding its poisonous character this mush- room is eaten by people of Russia and Siberia. It is thought that in those places there is something about the plant that prevents it from being so poisonous as it is here.
