EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Sweetbread, Clitopilus prunulus, shaggy Pholiota (Squarrosa), and chocolate-coloured Nolanea pascua," is an exquisite illustration from Leon Dufour's "Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux," published in 1891. The image showcases four distinct mushroom species: Sweetbread (Clitopilus prunulus), Shaggy Pholiota (Squarrosa), and Chocolate-coloured Nolanea (Pascua). The Sweetbread mushroom, also known as the Parasol Chanterelle or the False Morel, is a delicious edible mushroom with a cap that resembles a parasol or an umbrella. It is characterized by its white pores on the underside and a sweet, nutty flavor. The Clitopilus prunulus is a popular culinary mushroom in Europe and is often used in various dishes. The Shaggy Pholiota, or Shaggy Parasol (Squarrosa), is another edible mushroom with a distinctive appearance. Its cap is covered in wavy, shaggy scales, and its stem is smooth and white. The Shaggy Pholiota is commonly found in deciduous forests and is known for its earthy, nutty taste. The Chocolate-coloured Nolanea (Pascua) is a beautiful, chocolate-brown mushroom with a cap that is convex when young, becoming flat and umbilicate with age. It is an inedible mushroom, and its close relatives contain the potent toxin ibotenic acid. However, the Nolanea pascua is a fascinating addition to this illustration, showcasing the diversity of the mushroom kingdom. Leon Dufour's "Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux" was a groundbreaking work in the field of mycology, providing a detailed and accurate record of edible and poisonous mushrooms. This chromolithograph is a testament to the intricate beauty and diversity of the fungi world, capturing the attention of both scientists and enthusiasts over a century ago.
