EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts two intriguing and distinct fungi species: the Spindleshank fungus, Gymopus fusipes, and the Shaggy scalycap, Pholiota squarrosa. The image is taken from the seminal work "Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms" by Fritz Leuba, published in Neuchatel, Switzerland in 1890. Leuba, a renowned mycologist and artist from Neuchatel, Switzerland, meticulously captured the essence of these fungi through his exceptional illustrative skills. The Spindleshank fungus, also known as the Spindle-shaped Agaric, is characterized by its long, slender stems and bell-shaped caps. The cap is initially conical and later becomes flat, with a smooth, viscid surface that turns brownish-red when bruised. The fungus is typically found in coniferous forests and is considered edible, although it may cause mild gastrointestinal symptoms in some individuals. The Shaggy scalycap, also known as the Shaggy Pholiota, is a common and easily identifiable fungus. Its cap is initially conical and covered in white, wavy scales that later turn brownish-gray with age. The stem is short and bulbous, and the fungus releases a distinctive, sweet, and pleasant smell when bruised. The Shaggy scalycap is an edible and popular mushroom, often used in various culinary applications. This illustration not only showcases the unique beauty of these fungi but also serves as a testament to Leuba's remarkable talent and dedication to the field of mycology. It invites us to explore the natural world and appreciate the intricacies of the fungal kingdom.
