EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Red-capped Scaber Stalk, Leccinum aurantiacum, a delicious and edible mushroom native to Europe. The image is part of 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 vibrant red cap and the intricate patterns on its scaber stalk. The Red-capped Scaber Stalk, also known as Boletus aurantiacus, is a member of the Boletus family and is easily recognizable by its bright red cap and brown, scaber-like pores on the underside of the stem. This mushroom is a popular culinary delight in Europe, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, where it is used in various dishes, including pickling and stuffing. Leuba's work was groundbreaking in the field of mycology, as he was one of the first to document and illustrate a wide range of edible and poisonous mushrooms in such detail. His chromolithographs, like this one, were produced using a complex printing process that allowed for vibrant colors and intricate details, making them highly sought-after by collectors and researchers. This beautiful and informative image not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of the Red-capped Scaber Stalk but also highlights the importance of mycology in the history of science and the culinary traditions of Europe. The Red-capped Scaber Stalk remains a beloved and delicious mushroom to this day, and Leuba's work continues to inspire and educate generations of mycologists and mushroom enthusiasts.
