EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Snow Morel, Gyromitra gigas, and Hooded False Morel, Helvella infula," is an exquisite example of the mycological illustrations created by Fritz Leuba in the late 19th century. Leuba, a mycologist and artist from Neuchatel, Switzerland, meticulously captured the intricate details of these edible and poisonous mushrooms in this beautiful work. The centerpiece of the illustration is the Snow Morel, Gyromitra gigas, a highly sought-after edible mushroom that grows in cold climates. Its distinctive conical cap and brain-like interior make it a fascinating subject. However, it is important to note that the Snow Morel contains gyromitrin, a toxin that can cause serious health issues if not prepared correctly. To the left of the Snow Morel is the Hooded False Morel, Helvella infula. Despite its name, it is not actually a true morel, but rather a false morel. It is edible but can be confused with the deadly false morel, making proper identification crucial. The Hooded False Morel is characterized by its hood-like veil and fan-shaped cap. This illustration is a testament to Leuba's skill as an artist and mycologist. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring these mushrooms to life, making it a valuable addition to any mycology collection. The historical significance of this chromolithograph, created over a century ago, adds to its allure and makes it a fascinating piece of mycological history.
