EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Oak Tongue, Fistulina hepatica, a unique and intriguing fungus that was beautifully illustrated by Mordecai Cubitt Cooke for A Plain and Easy Account of British Fungi, published in London in 1862. Cooke, an English botanist and mycologist, dedicated his career to the study of fungi, working at the India Museum and the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew. The Oak Tongue, also known as the Beefsteak Fungus, is a bracket fungus that grows on the trunks and branches of oak trees. Its distinctive appearance, with a rough, porous surface and a tongue-like shape, earned it the name "Oak Tongue." The fungus is characterized by its bright orange-brown color, which deepens with age. The illustration showcases the Oak Tongue in its full glory, with intricate details that highlight its unique features. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that involves the transfer of an image from a series of lithographic stones, allowed for vibrant and detailed images that were popular during the Victorian era. Cooke's work was groundbreaking in the field of mycology, as he was one of the first to document and illustrate many British fungi. His meticulous attention to detail and dedication to accurate representation made his work an essential resource for botanists and mycologists of the time. This historical image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and intrigue of the natural world as it was observed and documented over a century ago.
