EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts two intriguing and distinct fungi species: the Sheathed Woodtuft (Kuehneromyces mutabilis, formerly known as Pholiota mutabilis) and the Rooting Poison Pie (Hebeloma radicosum, formerly known as Pholiota radicosa). The image, created by A. Bessin and published in Leon Rolland's esteemed "Guide to Mushrooms from France, Switzerland, and Belgium" in 1910, was later reproduced by Lassus. The Sheathed Woodtuft, with its elegant, curved cap and white, sheath-like veil, is a delightful edible mushroom. Its cap can range from pale yellow to brown, and the stem is typically white and smooth. This fungus is often found growing in woodlands, particularly on dead or decaying hardwood logs. The Rooting Poison Pie, on the other hand, is a fascinating and visually striking fungus. Its cap is initially white, but it turns brown with age, while the stem is white and has a bulbous base. This fungus is also known as the "rooting parasol" due to its distinctive rooting habit. It forms a symbiotic relationship with certain trees, obtaining nutrients from their roots while providing them with essential minerals. Both of these fungi are important subjects in the field of mycology, the scientific study of fungi. This chromolithograph not only showcases their unique appearances but also contributes to the historical record of fungal research. The intricate details of the illustration provide a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the fungal kingdom and the fascination it holds for scientists and nature enthusiasts alike.
