EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Hereford Fungus Festival" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century England. Created by Walter Granville Smith in 1874, this illustration captures the essence of a unique event that brought together enthusiasts and experts alike. Intriguingly detailed, the print showcases a bustling scene filled with mushroom displays, eager attendees studying various fungi species, and even a fatal accident unfolding amidst all the excitement. The festival was not just about admiring these peculiar organisms; it was an opportunity for mycologists to delve into their studies and share knowledge on topics like molar theory and mycology. Amidst the festivities, we catch glimpses of notable highlights such as Mrs. Lloyd Wynne's Free Library dedicated to mushrooms and Messers Forteys' luncheon featuring vegetable veal cutlets made from agaricus iris – surely a culinary delight!
