EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the St. Georges Mushroom, Calocybe gambosa (previously known as Agaricus gambosus), a popular and widely distributed edible fungus in Europe and North America. The image is taken from Our Edible Toadstools and Mushrooms, a seminal mycological work by William Hamilton Gibson, published by Harper in New York in 1895. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the unique features of this mushroom, with its distinctive cap that ranges from light to dark brown, often with a yellowish tinge, and its white gills that turn brown as they age. The stem is short, bulbous at the base, and covered in white, fibrous veil remnants. The St. Georges Mushroom is often found in grassy areas, particularly near trees, and can be identified by its distinctive odor, which is described as being reminiscent of almonds or anise. Mycology, the study of fungi, has long held a fascination for scientists and naturalists alike, and this beautiful chromolithograph is a testament to the intricacy and beauty of these often overlooked organisms. The use of the chromolithograph process, which involved the transfer of an image from a series of lithographic stones onto a single sheet of paper, allowed for the creation of highly detailed and vibrant images, making this an invaluable resource for mycological research and study. William Hamilton Gibson, a renowned mycologist and botanical illustrator, dedicated his career to the study and documentation of fungi, producing some of the most detailed and accurate illustrations of his time. Our Edible Toadstools and Mushrooms remains a seminal work in the field of mycology, and this image of the St. Georges Mushroom is a testament to Gibson's skill and dedication to his craft.
