EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolithograph depicts two intriguing and distinct mushroom species: the Spotted Toughshank (Collybia maculata) and the Split Gill Mushroom (Schizophyllum commune). The image is an exquisite reproduction from Leon Rolland's seminal mycological guide, "Atlas des Champignons," published by Paul Klincksieck in Paris in 1910. The illustration was originally created by A. Bessin and later rendered in chromolithography by Lassus. The Spotted Toughshank, with its elegant, slender stem adorned with brown spots, and its cap featuring concentric rings and a central umbo, is a true beauty. This mushroom is native to France, Switzerland, and Belgium, and is known for its tough texture and distinctive appearance. The Split Gill Mushroom, on the other hand, is easily recognizable by its unique, fan-like gills that split into thin, delicate strands. The cap is convex and grayish-brown, with a velvety texture and a slightly scaly surface. This mushroom is a common sight in the woodlands of Europe and is known for its ability to decompose wood and recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. This print is a testament to the rich history of mycology and the dedication of early mycologists like Leon Rolland, who meticulously documented and illustrated the fascinating world of fungi. The intricate details of the Spotted Toughshank and Split Gill Mushroom are brought to life in this beautiful chromolithograph, making it a must-have for any mycological enthusiast or collector.
