EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the edible Golden Chanterelle, Cantharellus cibarius, a highly coveted and delicious mushroom found in forests throughout Europe and North America. The Golden Chanterelle, also known as the Girolles or Porcini d'Automne in France, is easily recognizable by its golden-yellow cap and white, forked veils that radiate from the stem. This beautiful illustration is from the seminal work "Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms" by Fritz Leuba, published in Neuchatel, Switzerland in 1890. Fritz Leuba (1848-1910) was a renowned mycologist and artist from Neuchatel, Switzerland, who dedicated his life to the study and documentation of fungi. His meticulously detailed illustrations, like this one, were produced using the chromolithography process, which allowed for vibrant and lifelike colors. Leuba's work was groundbreaking in the field of mycology, as it combined scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal, making it an invaluable resource for both scientific research and culinary pursuits. The Golden Chanterelle is a highly prized edible mushroom, known for its rich, nutty flavor and aroma. It is often used in gourmet dishes, particularly in European cuisine. However, it is important to note that there are several poisonous look-alikes, such as the Jack-o'-Lantern Chanterelle and the False Chanterelle, which can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms if mistakenly consumed. Therefore, proper identification is crucial when foraging for wild mushrooms. This historical and beautifully preserved chromolithograph is a testament to the rich history of mycology and the enduring allure of the fascinating and diverse world of fungi.
