1876 Cantharellus Chanterelle Cordier Creamy Edible Funghi Mushrooms Pla Nts Suspect Cibarius
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "FUNGHI / CORDIER 32 1876," showcases a beautiful arrangement of edible and suspect fungi, including the prized Cantharellus Cibarius, commonly known as the Chanterelle, and the less desirable Cantharellus Aurantiacus. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the late 19th century, with its intriguing historical context. The Chanterelle mushroom, depicted in the foreground, is a highly sought-after delicacy in the culinary world, renowned for its creamy texture and delicate, slightly fruity flavor. Its vibrant orange hue and unique funnel-shaped cap make it a visual treat, as well. In stark contrast, the Cantharellus Aurantiacus, also known as the Suspect Chanterelle, is a close relative of the edible Chanterelle but can be potentially harmful if consumed. Its appearance is similar to the edible variety, but its cap is paler and its stem is more robust. This mushroom is often mistaken for the edible Chanterelle, making it an intriguing subject for this photograph. The photograph is credited to the Cordier company, which was a renowned French publisher and distributor of photographic prints during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The "32 1876" notation suggests that this print is part of a larger series, possibly a collection of fungi or botanical specimens. This photograph not only serves as a stunning visual representation of these fascinating fungi but also provides a glimpse into the historical significance of mycology and the role of photography in documenting the natural world. Whether you're an amateur mycologist, a food enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, this photograph is sure to captivate and inspire.
