EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the False Chanterelle, Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, a mushroom that has long intrigued mycologists and enthusiasts alike. The False Chanterelle, also known as the False Golden Chanterelle or the False Cantharellus, is a member of the Hygrophoraceae family and is characterized by its bright orange cap and white pores. However, its close resemblance to the edible Chanterelle, Cantharellus cibarius, has led to its dubious reputation. The illustration is taken from "Champignons Edibles et Veneureux," a seminal work by Fritz Leuba, a renowned mycologist and artist from Neuchatel, Switzerland. Published in 1890, this comprehensive and beautifully illustrated book was one of the most important contributions to the field of mycology during the late 19th century. Leuba's meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill are evident in this image, which showcases the False Chanterelle in all its splendor. The False Chanterelle is a fascinating example of the complex relationship between the edible and poisonous worlds of mushrooms. While it may resemble its edible counterpart, it contains the toxin gyromitrin, which can cause serious health issues if consumed. Thus, it serves as a reminder of the importance of proper identification and the potential hazards that come with foraging for wild mushrooms. This chromolithograph is a testament to the rich history of mycology and the enduring allure of the enigmatic and often misunderstood world of fungi. It invites us to marvel at the beauty and complexity of these fascinating organisms while also serving as a reminder of the importance of careful observation and identification.
