1891 Atlas Champignons Dufour Edible Leon Mushroom Mycology Pratensis Suspect Coccineus Hygrophorus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Hygrophorus eburneus, H. niveus, H. pratensis, suspect H. coccineus" is an exquisite example from Leon Dufour's "Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux," published in 1891. Mycology enthusiasts and historians of the culinary world will appreciate the intricate detail and vibrant colors that bring these edible mushrooms to life. The Hygrophorus genus, depicted in this print, is a diverse group of mushrooms characterized by their white, gill-like pores instead of the typical cap-and-stem structure. Among them, Hygrophorus eburneus, H. niveus, and H. pratensis are edible species, while the presence of H. coccineus, a suspect species, adds an element of intrigue. Leon Dufour, a renowned mycologist and illustrator, dedicated his life to the study and documentation of various fungi species. His "Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux" is a testament to his extensive knowledge and passion for the field. The publication of this atlas marked a significant contribution to the history of mycology and the culinary world, providing a comprehensive record of edible and poisonous mushrooms. This chromolithograph, with its rich heritage, offers a glimpse into the past and the fascination that mushrooms have held for generations. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and understanding the natural world around us, as well as the role that illustrations play in scientific discovery and communication.
