Funghi / Cordier 2 1876 - Agaricus Muscarius (Poisonous) Description: This photograph, taken in 1876, showcases the enchanting yet dangerous beauty of the Agaricus Muscarius, also known as the Fly Agaric or the Fly Amantia. This mushroom, with its iconic red and white spotted cap, has long been a subject of fascination and intrigue due to its striking appearance and historical significance. The Agaricus Muscarius is a member of the Agaricaceae family and is found in various parts of the Northern Hemisphere. While it is visually appealing, it is important to note that this mushroom is poisonous and contains the toxin muscimol. Ingestion of this mushroom can lead to hallucinations, delirium, and even death. This photograph, taken by an unknown artist and titled "Funghi / Cordier 2 1876," is a testament to the allure of the natural world and the importance of documenting its wonders, even those that pose a threat. The image captures the mushroom in its pristine form, with its vibrant red cap adorned with white spots, and its stem nestled among the forest floor. The history of the Agaricus Muscarius dates back to ancient times, with records of its use in various cultures for both medicinal and spiritual purposes. In European folklore, it was believed that the mushroom was the favored food of toadstools and fairies, and it was often used in witchcraft and divination rituals. Despite its poisonous nature, the Agaricus Muscarius continues to captivate and intrigue us, serving as a reminder of the complex and often mysterious relationship between humans and the natural world.
