1876 Boletus Cordier Edible Edulis Funghi Mushroom
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1876, showcases a magnificent specimen of the edible Boletus edulis, also known as the Penny Bun or Porcino mushroom. The image, part of the extensive collection of the renowned French photographer Eugène Cordier (1831-1911) at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of mycology. Boletus edulis is one of the most popular and widely consumed edible mushrooms worldwide. Its distinctive orange-brown, round cap and tubular pores make it easily recognizable, while its robust, sturdy stem and large size add to its allure. This particular mushroom, captured by Cordier in 1876, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. Cordier, a pioneer in the field of photography, was known for his meticulous documentation of various subjects, including botanical specimens. His work, which includes thousands of images, remains an invaluable resource for researchers, historians, and enthusiasts alike. The photograph of the Boletus edulis, taken over a century ago, not only serves as a stunning visual representation of this edible fungus but also offers a fascinating window into the past. It invites us to reflect on the progress made in the fields of mycology and photography since the late 19th century. As we admire this historical image, we are reminded of the enduring allure of the natural world and the importance of preserving and documenting its wonders for future generations. The Boletus edulis, with its rich, earthy flavor and captivating appearance, continues to delight and inspire us, both as a culinary delicacy and as a subject of scientific curiosity.
