EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Pasture or Parasol Mushroom, Agaricus procerus, a delicious and edible fungi discovered in pastures and grasslands. The image is taken from Fritz Leuba's seminal work, "Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms," published in Neuchatel, Switzerland in 1890. Leuba, a renowned mycologist and artist from Neuchatel, Switzerland, meticulously captured the intricate details of this mushroom, showcasing its distinctive parasol-like cap and white gills. The Pasture Mushroom, also known as the White Agaric or the Champignon de Pré, is a popular edible mushroom in Europe. It is easily recognizable by its large, white, bell-shaped cap, which can grow up to 15 centimeters in diameter, and its long, slender stem, which is usually white or tinged with brown. The gills on the underside of the cap are also white and free of pores, making them an excellent indicator of the mushroom's edibility. Leuba's chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, as well as the dedication and expertise of the mycologist and artist. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that involves the transfer of color from lithographic stones, allowed for the creation of highly detailed and vibrant images, making this an exceptional work of art and scientific documentation. This historical image not only provides a glimpse into the past, but also serves as a reminder of the importance of mycology in understanding the natural world and the role that fungi play in our ecosystems. The Pasture Mushroom, with its delicious taste and beautiful appearance, continues to be a beloved and cherished ingredient in many culinary traditions.
