"Studies of American Fungi: Mushrooms, Edible, Poisonous, etc." by George Francis Atkinson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive guide on various species of fungi found in the United States, with a focus on identifying edible and poisonous mushrooms. Atkinson aims to educate readers on the characteristics of these plants to promote safe foraging and culinary use. The opening portion establishes the purpose of the work by discussing the demand for a more extensive documentation of American fungi since the earlier bulletins issued by the author. It describes the careful selection of illustrations and detailed descriptions meant to help readers distinguish between different species. Atkinson addresses common misconceptions about mushrooms and toadstools and emphasizes the importance of careful observation to identify edible varieties while avoiding toxic ones. He outlines the main features of mushrooms, including their anatomy, growth patterns, and characteristics crucial for identification, laying the groundwork for the detailed studies that follow in subsequent chapters.
