EDITORS COMMENTS
Funghi / Cordier 4 1876 - Agaricus Phalloides (Poisonous) Description: This image, dated 1876, showcases a close-up view of the deadly Agaricus Phalloides, also known as the Death Cap or Deadly Webcap mushroom. The photograph, part of the Cordier Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a striking representation of the fungus's intricate, creamy-white cap, adorned with a prominent greenish-brown ring and a long, slender stem. The Agaricus Phalloides is a notorious and highly toxic mushroom, belonging to the Agaricaceae family. Its appearance can be deceptively appealing, with the cap measuring up to 15 cm in diameter and the stem reaching a height of around 10 cm. However, this beauty is a deadly imposter, harboring a lethal dose of phallotoxins and amatoxins that can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms, liver and kidney failure, and even death if ingested. Despite its poisonous nature, the Agaricus Phalloides holds a significant place in scientific research and mycology due to its potent toxins. The study of these toxins has led to advancements in understanding the mechanisms of mushroom poisoning and the development of antidotes. The photograph, taken over a century ago, remains an essential historical record of this fascinating and dangerous fungus. Its intricate details and striking colors provide a glimpse into the complex world of mycology and the ongoing quest to understand the natural world around us.
