EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts three distinct and intriguing mushroom species: Chantarelle (Cantharellus cibarius 1), Milky Chantarelle (Cantharellus cibarius 1), and Milky Agaric (Lactarius deliciosus 2). The image is an exquisite illustration from "A Plain and Easy Account of British Fungi," published in London in 1862. The work was created by the renowned English botanist and mycologist, Mordecai Cubitt Cooke (1825-1914). Cooke was a distinguished figure in the field of mycology, having worked at the India Museum and the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew. His meticulous illustrations, such as this one, were instrumental in documenting and classifying various fungi species during the 19th century. The Chantarelle mushroom, with its distinctive fan-shaped cap and yellow-orange color, is a highly sought-after edible mushroom. The Milky Chantarelle, also known as the False Chantarelle, is similar in appearance but can be distinguished by its milky juice when cut. The Milky Agaric, on the other hand, is a separate species with a white cap and a milky latex that turns blue when exposed to air. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of mycology and the intricate details of these fascinating fungi. The chromolithograph process, which involved printing from multiple lithographic stones, allowed for the vibrant colors and intricate details that bring these mushrooms to life. This historical piece continues to captivate and inspire both mycologists and mushroom enthusiasts alike.
