It was not deemed of sufficient importance to"be included iri'the list of colonial exports until. 1872, andduring that year about 58 tons ;were! shipped from Auckland, the value of which was £1,927. :■ In 1877; the annual shipment increased to 220 tons.uthe value of whicb.;wasn£ll>-3lßin--.i a) v'foK ■Thfe' 'f piloting' table' sh6w§; tile- Quantity ' add value of fungus exported'1 from New Zealand for each year since 1872 :p ■- *»•« i Yeir.

: Very few people'know what fungus really is! The wbrd .itself is a generic term, and is ; applied to a. lare;e natural order of crypto ■gamic plant?, comprehending, mushroom's, toadstools, and, indeed, all the microscopic plants which form mould, mildew, &c. Amongst the many thousand species known 'to science yery few of them are of any value as food. Professor Thomas Kirke, of the [University of Canterbury, in a paper ; recently • read before the Philosophical Society of Wellington, New Zealand, draws attention to the fact that fungus, in several ! striking characteristics, bears a similar rela tion to all other plants to that borne by insects to all other animals. He -Bays a i larger number of plants is included in fungi, regarded as a'single order,: than in any other group of similar value. The largest numbpr, ot similar animals is comprised . under tnsecta. Each group exhibits a large amount of polymorphism and parasitism. Each contains many species injurious to man, and but few from which he derives direot benefit; while other large groups of | animals and plants are constantly yielding additions' tp' the catalogue of organic sub .stances directly or ..indirectly utilised by | man. J^ungi au,d, insccta, , notwithstanding their vast numbers, but rarely assist to swell the roll. Professor Kirke admits, however, ; that this opinion is at variance with the com parative ■estimates of the number of specie's [comprised under different orders, as stated 'in botanical text books, but Bays it is i warranted by the known results in countries where fungi', have .been investigated with' some approach to completeness. He says : "In Great Britain over 3,000 species, of 'fnngfc'afe',known,' considerably..more' thpnt twice the nuriiber'of phaenogdjns&tidfilcaies put together.l" '

Poisonous and Non-p6isoNous Fu&g'i,

"WliHe-r entirely agree with Professor Kirke, some' botanists contend' that the truth is not that the greater number are poisonous iintl oiily'afew edible, but that the noxious, species are comparatively Jew, the principal danger arising from the similarity of some of; the poisonous apdjsc(*nje«fot & the edible species which a(^^iß;]p*UßOQda»^pjcoperties iif, $Srticnlar^sUuniiouf<, Thi^lSjitotably true In certa&Mflflipof: liiushroouis^hich liflcome poiijgirptts '(m 'accuubtvf the^iwtion ia wtuch ifie^ arV grwvn^DuiSs'^rule'this theory is applicable only j.to a few varieties -of; fungi. It appears that the exportof New Zealand] fungus ia confined to but one .specwa, namely, hirneola\ polylrictra mont, although there ate some yory rare varieties 'bearing a close resemblance to it found in the neighbourhood of Christ ;chu'rch and Wellington, specimens, of which were sent'to the' Vienna Exhibition :under-iihe na.mdof Jews oar fungus, ffirnerla \Aricula Judac. •■ These-''specimens may be easily distinguished from- the Hireneola \polytrictha by the colour. '. ■■ The Jews ear .fungus is ufa pinkish tint, while the. ittirnegla pelt/lrietra ifl of a greyish colour. .'The former'variety is so seldom met with, : that it is not at all likely' that it will ever, become an article of commerce. The inside !of the leaf of the Rirneola poh/lricthafthzn 'dried'is a .bright, reddish ; brown, while, tbii-. outside presents a.'.glossy dove colour. The leaf is shaped exactly like a saucer, and varies maize from 4 io 7 inches in diameter. It; is flabby in appearance; rough to the touch,;and of considerable strength;' It is vit readily soluble in water, bat is said.to .dissolve easily with the addition of an jalkali. It has been suggested as a substitute for isinglass in the manufacture •of beer. Botanists have little difficulty in distinguishing the' different varieties of these plants notwithstanding their vast ■number.. Indeed, it is so claimed that each jvariety cattbe'told unmistakably by the odour alone. Another peculiarity of these iplants is their marvellous growth. They davelopo themselves more rapidly than any other species of plants' in- the whole range of the vegetable kingdom. 'They spring up by * hundreds,' -,and : thousands in a single night. They are not .'produced by seed, but by a spawn which , bears organs of fructification.' Unlike other plants they do not absorb carbonic acid Irom the air.and give out oxygon, but {likeI,animals absorb oxygen and give put ' carbonic acid, so that some- naturalists ha ye : proposed- to constitute -for them < a'' distinct kingdom of .nature intermediate, between \he animal-arid vegetable. !■., • ,: : .:•■■', : This edible 'ifaftr Zealand Funglus ; Its; ■ 'o\ '■..' v'MODJ^OF PjUCPAfcATION* ' '.:■■'. :-,j I The New 'Zealand Fungus known to Ooaimerce ia found upon various kinds of decayed timber- in the North Island, in : twhat ate called new bosh settlements.

Japan for: inaki'ng a/valuable dye for ejlks, Sinee1 this correspondence it has been discovered that it is used by the Chinese principally as an article of food. It forms the chief in gredient of their favourite soup, for which dish it is much prized on account of its gelatinous properties and it# rich and delfc

cious flavour. I send by this mail to the Department of State a small package of samples of fungus marked 11, kindly fur nished mo : by H. 8., Morton, Esq., of tWs city.for examination and experiment, pjr T. F. Cheeseman, the curator of the Auckland Museum, is of the opinion. tha : the'fragment*of wood attached to one or tht specimens, is from a' tree known to the Maories as Whau-whau-paku, or to bota nists' as'Paniix atbbre'rnu.' Tli6 otherß^efci mens were doubtless found .on the. Karaka tree (Corquocarpus lavigatus) or"fhe M'ahoe (Melicytus ramiflonis), Kaiwhiria (Hedy carya deutata), Pubapuka (BrachyglptUs repprada), andihe-Panax arboreuiri'lalrfeadx mentioned, as well a« on several other soft wooded trees. Fangu's appears to me to hava a pungent taate although.it ia generally said to be tasteless. A few days ago I made, soup out of sorae of the samples furnished "me,1' faiif did1 not'partake o£ it in sufficient quantities, to be able to judge of its excellence as an article of food for civilized people,.but one ,of my Chinese neighbours, whVhaiip'e'ried to be passing my door while tho Houp was boiling1 ,' caught- the aroma of it, and very kindly relieved me of any furtfief'tfbiible in trying to cultivate a'tasto for one of hia favourite natioual dishes.

THE FERRET CASE.

ll'BE ddtende set mp by the counsel for th# 'defence in the' Case, of the stolen steamer jFerret, or India, was very ? ingenious. He maid that the explanation given to him of ithe occurrence was, >that -the vessel was Ihired by Henderson from the Highland jCompany for. one Watkins,--who was the (first captain of the-'vessel on -this royage, iand who was agent for the Peruvian Govern- Iment. Peru and Chili were at war; the ilatter Power had blockaded the ports of :Peru, and this Bteamer was hired to run the blockade, and to- take cargo and arms, and ■the charterers were to receive,£so,.ooo for 'their risk. Thai all that rwas done';subso jquently was to conceal from the Chilian (Government'the fact that,the.vessel was 'going on that expedition; that there was no I intention to defraud any one ; and that the 'vessqj-jwoujd.,have, been; taken home,:,qr , Henderson .would have exercised the right iof purchase that he possessed over the 'ship." The ship, was publicly chartered'to ;go; a'peacefuYvoyage, although there was:&'. iPrivate.undetstanding by which the com", 'pany would have been secured against risk" in^caseof capture. The jnry, after an ihoiir's del^eratidn, found, all three pr,iftO-. : jners not! guilty 7.0 n the first and second iconnts, but guilty-on the third, fourth, 'fifthjibtfd!'»i'c counts. "This1 meant" the'>:ac- 'quittal on the .charge, of conspiracy to de fraud the Highland Railway Company, the, owheS ofthe vessel, but ihe conviction of-' ithe prisoners on the" charge of conspiring to defraud the intending purchasers, con spiring to unlawfully report the vessel at |tne Customs in Melbourne, and conspiring 'to defraud the Commissioner of Customs of a certificate of sale.'
