EDITORS COMMENTS
Entoloma sinuatum, also known as the Livid Entoloma or Livid Agaric, is a fascinating and visually striking mushroom species. This chromolithograph print, created by Lassus after an illustration by A. Bessin for Leon Rolland's seminal mycological guide from 1910, showcases the unique beauty of this fungus in exquisite detail. The Livid Entoloma is native to Europe, specifically France, Switzerland, and Belgium, and is characterized by its distinctive cap, which ranges from bright red to deep purple or even black when fresh, with age it turns brown. The cap measures between 2 to 6 centimeters in diameter and has a wavy, sinuate margin. The gills are white or pale pink, and the stem is slender, white, and smooth. Despite its alluring appearance, the Livid Entoloma is a poisonous mushroom, and consumption can lead to serious health complications. Mycologists and mushroom enthusiasts have long been drawn to this species due to its unique characteristics and the challenge of identifying it in the wild. This chromolithograph, produced over a century ago, remains an important historical record of the Livid Entoloma and a testament to the rich tradition of mycological illustration. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the mushroom to life, providing a glimpse into the natural world and the fascination it holds for generations of mycologists, naturalists, and curious observers.
