EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 10 of Le Regne Vegetal: Plantes Agricoles, Volume 8 showcases two captivating species of Amanita mushrooms. The first, on the left, is identified as Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the Fly Agaric or Fly Amanita. This iconic mushroom is easily recognizable by its vibrant red cap, often adorned with white warts, and a voluminous white veil that covers the stem and the base of the cap. Amanita muscaria is a widely distributed basidiomycete, found in various parts of the Northern Hemisphere and parts of the Southern Hemisphere. It is a mycorrhizal fungus, forming symbiotic relationships with trees, particularly conifers. The second mushroom on the right is Amanita virosa, also known as the Destroying Angel or Deadly Webcap. This deadly fungus is characterized by its large, yellow-orange cap, which can range from bright to pale, and its white gills. Amanita virosa is a highly toxic species, containing the deadly amatoxins. Despite its danger, it is a beautiful and fascinating example of the natural world's intricacy and complexity. Both of these Amanita species are bracket fungi, meaning they form their fruiting bodies, or sporocarps, directly on the substrate, rather than growing above ground as most mushrooms do. These sporocarps, also known as fruit bodies, serve as the structure for the production and dispersal of spores. The intricate details of their structures, from the cap to the gills, are a testament to the rich biodiversity of the fungal kingdom, which, as part of the Agaricales order and the Amanitaceae family, belongs to the Agaricomycetes class of the phylum Basidiomycota.
