EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts two distinct members of the Russula genus, the Yellow-gilled Russula, Russula alutacea, and its poisonous counterpart, the Sickener, Russula emetica. The illustration is taken from "Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms," a seminal work by renowned mycologist and artist Fritz Leuba, published in Neuchatel, Switzerland, in 1890. Leuba's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the vibrant and lifelike representation of these mushrooms. The Yellow-gilled Russula, also known as the Yellow-gilled Agaricus or the Yellow-gilled Alutaceus, is an edible mushroom with a distinctive yellow gill coloration. It is a popular culinary delicacy in many parts of Europe and North America, particularly in the autumn season. The mushroom's cap is typically conical or bell-shaped, with a yellowish-brown to brownish-reddish color and a velvety texture. The Sickener, on the other hand, is a poisonous look-alike that can be easily mistaken for the edible Russula alutacea. It is characterized by its yellow gills and a cap that ranges from yellowish-brown to reddish-brown, with a velvety or scaly surface. However, unlike its edible counterpart, the Sickener contains the toxin muscarine, which can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms if ingested. Leuba's illustration serves as a testament to the importance of careful identification in the world of mycology. The historical significance of this chromolithograph lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its role as a valuable educational tool for mycologists and mushroom enthusiasts alike.
