SPECIOSA is not recommended for its
program
The Pacific Northwest is one
of the inost productive areas in
the entire country for wild
mushrooms, and in the fall the
season reaches its peak. To
coincide with the current season,
Shelton Public Library will
present a special program on wild
mushrooms of the area on
Wednesday evening at 8 p.m.
Color slides of mushrooms
will be shown with an
introduction to the many
different types of mushrooms
found in the area how, when
and where they grow. A question
and answer period will follow.
Mushrooms may be wrapped in
wax paper and brought to the
program. Specimens are always
welcome.
Presenting this special
program will be Dr-. Alan
Maxwell Much and his wife
Carolyn, traveling mycologists,
who are in the Puget Sound area
temporarily while doing field
research and teaching courses on
mushroom identification at local
colleges. They travel continually,
following the mushrooms,
teaching, doing research,
photographing, and presenting
educational programs on all
aspects of mushrooms.
"Mushrooms are an important
food," declares Dr. Much,
"because they are delicious,
nutritious, low in calories, and
free! Different species of
mushrooms have different flavors
and textures.
"Positive identification is, of
course, essential," he adds
emphatically. "No one should eat
any wild growing mushroom or
green plant unless he is absolutely
sure of its identification. Only
about one percent of mushrooms
is dangerously poisonous - and
that's about the same percentage
of poisonous green plants. Some
berries are poisonous too, but
that doesn't mean that we
shouldn't enjoy the delicious
ones."
Europeans and Orientals eat
three to four times as many
mushrooms per person as
Americans do. While only one
species of mushroom is grown
commercially in this country;
several hundred delicious edibles
are available in the wild.
In the parks, forests, or on the
front lawn, one can learn to
distinguish the delicious from the
deadly.

commissions, it was announced
by the patrol this week.

An agreement on ambulance
calls in Fire District Five between
the fire district and the Mason
County Ambulance Company was
announced this week.
The agreement was reached at
the request of the
Thurston-Mason Health District

district officials and the
ambulance service.
Fire District Five operates aid
car service which is available to
people in the district. The
ambulance company is a private
firm.
Under the agreement, the
ambulance service will notify the
fire district when it gets a call in
the district five area and the fire
district will notify the ambulance

transport the person if the
situation is critical.
Pacific Northwest Bell is
building a new plant operating
center in the Kneeland Center
north of Shelton, according to
PNB manager Jack Doyle.
The contract to construct the
new facility is Lincoln
Construction Company of
Spanaway at $177,890.
The new building will be used
by PNB's Shelton area installation
and repair crews. It will have a
24-vehicle capacity. The building
is being constructed of pre-cast
concrete and contains three crew
rooms and two supply rooms.
"We have simply outgrown
the plant operating center
currently in use," Doyle said.
"The new facility will allow our
installation and repair people to
operate more efficiently."
The new building will be
completed in late February.
