This work explores various species of edible fungi found in England, providing insights into their historical uses, characteristics, nutritional value, cooking methods, and preservation techniques. The text aims to educate readers about the culinary and economic importance of these fungi, often considered neglected despite their abundance. The opening of the treatise sets the stage by highlighting the rich variety of edible fungi in England—over thirty species flourishing in its woods—yet lamenting their common neglect as a food source. It compares the situation in England with countries such as France and Italy, where these fungi are not only celebrated for their culinary value but also serve as an important economic resource. The text introduces the notion that recognizing and utilizing these esculent fungi could greatly benefit both individuals and the wider community. This introductory portion underscores the author's intention to enlighten readers about the practical benefits and potentials of embracing edibles from nature, thus addressing a significant gap in culinary knowledge during that era.
