George Francis Atkinson (1854-1918) was an American author and professor. He studied at Olivet College and graduated a Bachelor of Philosophy from Cornell University in 1885. After graduation, he was appointed an Assistant Professor of Entomology and General Zoology in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was also a contributor of newspaper articles for the intelligent farmer and layman and an active member of the Elisha Mitchell Society. In 1888 he became a Professor of Botany and Zoology and Botanist to the Experiment Station in the University of South Carolina at Columbia, and in 1889 Professor of Biology in the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and Biologist to the Experiment Station there. He returned to Cornell in 1892, where he was Assistant Professor of Cryptogamic Botany, later Professor of Botany and then Head of Department in 1896. He wrote several popular articles and surveys, and one book, Studies of American Fungi - Mushrooms: Edible, Poisonous, etc. (1900). He later travelled around Europe, and in 1907 he became First President of the Botanical Society of America.

Excerpt from Studies of American Fungi Mushrooms: Edible, Poisonous, Etc Value of Form and Characters - The different kinds of mushrooms vary in form. Some are quite strikingly different from others, so that no one would have difficulty in recognizing the difference in shape. For example, an umbrella-shaped mushroom like the one shown in Fig. I or 81 is easily distinguished from a shelving one like that in Fig. 9 or 188. But in many cases different species vary only slightly in form, so that it becomes a more or less difficult matter to distinguish them. In those plants (for the mushroom is a plant) where the different kinds are nearly alike in form, there are other characters than mere general form which enable one to tell them apart. These, it is true, require close observation on our part, as well as some experience in judging of the value of such characters the same habit of observa tion and discrimination we apply to everyday affairs and to all departments of knowledge. But so few people give their attention to the discrimination of these plants that few know the value of their characters, or can even recognize them.

Studies of American Fungi. Mushrooms, Edible, Poisonous, etc. by George Francis Atkinson INTRODUCTION. Since the issue of my "Studies and Illustrations of Mushrooms," as Bulletins 138 and 168 of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, there have been so many inquiries for them and for literature dealing with a larger number of species, it seemed desirable to publish in book form a selection from the number of illustrations of these plants which I have accumulated during the past six or seven years. The selection has been made of those species representing the more important genera, and also for the purpose of illustrating, as far as possible, all the genera of agarics found in the United States. This has been accomplished except in a few cases of the more unimportant ones. There have been added, also, illustrative genera and species of all the other orders of the higher fungi, in which are included many of the edible forms. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
