  1. Get the largest and the thickest buttons you can, peel them, and cut off the root end, but do not wash them.
  2. Spread them separately on pewter dishes, and set them in a slow oven to dry.
  3. Let the liquor dry up into the mushrooms, as that will make the powder much stronger, and let them continue in the oven till you find they will powder.
  4. Then beat them in a marble mortar, and sift them through a fine sieve, with a little chyan pepper and pounded mace.
  5. Bottle it quite clear, and keep it in a dry place.
