Unofficial corrections, given to me after having been photocopied, re-photocopied, and handed down by many mushroomers. Anyone who has used this wonderful book knows that, in a few places, the numbering in the keys is faulty or missing. These corrections seem to fix many of the problems in my edition. Corrections to the index provided by Darvin DeShazer.
