BROILED MUSHROOMS
Peel, wash, and drain your mushrooms, and then cut them in pieces. Make a square case of white paper, and butter it well. Fill it with the mushrooms mixed with butter, salt, and pepper. Broil them on the gridiron over a clear fire, and serve them up in the paper.
If you choose, you may mix with the mush rooms some chopped onion and sweet-herbs.

*In gathering mushrooms, take only those that are of a pale pink color underneath, and a dull white or pearl color on the top. Those that are perfectly white above, or whose under side is white, yellow, or any color but pale pink, are unfit to eat, and poisonous.
After being gathered awhile, the pink tinge changes to brown, but it always appears on the good ones while in the ground.
