EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a fascinating find from the natural world: a speckled and creamy Fungus known as Phallus impudicus, or the Stinkhorn Mushroom, from the year 1876. This unique fungus, also referred to as the Obscene Fungus or the Common Stinkhorn, is a notorious member of the Phallaceae family, renowned for its distinctive, phallic shape and pungent odor. Discovered in the lush forests of Europe and North America, this poisonous mushroom is a true marvel of nature. Its cap, when fully matured, reveals a grotesque, yet intriguing, display of a 'volva' or an inverted bell-shaped structure, which is covered in a sticky, smelly substance that attracts flies and other insects, aiding in the mushroom's spore dispersal. The history of the Phallus impudicus dates back to ancient times, with references found in Greek and Roman literature. This mushroom has been a subject of fascination and intrigue due to its unusual appearance and the myths and legends associated with it. In some cultures, it was believed to have aphrodisiac properties, while in others, it was considered a symbol of fertility. This image, taken in 1876, is a testament to the beauty and mystery of the natural world. The speckled, creamy texture of the Fungus, combined with its historical significance, makes for an intriguing and captivating addition to any collection or display. Whether you're an avid mycologist, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the wonders of nature, this photograph of the Phallus impudicus is a must-have.
