A treatise on the esculent funguses of England containing an account of their classical history, uses, characters, development, structure, nutritious properties, modes of cooking and preserving, etc.

"A Treatise on the Esculent Funguses of England" by Charles David Badham details a study of England's edible mushrooms and their possible applications. The book explains the underutilization of over thirty types of wild mushrooms when, actually, they can be cooked, preserved, and used for nutrition. This treatise has a goal of informing the public about the nutritional and economic value of mushrooms, arguing that, like in France and Italy, they could greatly benefit English people if appreciated more for their practical uses.
