EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, created by Lassus after an illustration by A. Bessin for Leon Rolland's seminal mycological guide from 1910, showcases a captivating array of mushrooms and truffles native to France, Switzerland, and Belgium. The image highlights several intriguing fungi and truffles, including the Black Bulgar, Bulgaria inquinans, and the Candlestick Fungus, Xylaria hypoxylon. Among the mushrooms depicted, the Elaphomyces muricatus (also known as Elaphomyces variegatus) is particularly noteworthy for its unique, fan-like structure. The Black Bulgar, a type of bracket fungus, is characterized by its dark, textured surface, while the Bulgaria inquinans displays a more subtle, earthy appearance. The truffles in this illustration are equally fascinating. The Black Truffle, Tuber melanosporum, is renowned for its distinctive black color and rich, complex flavor. The Summer Truffle, Tuber aestivum, is another highly prized variety, with its light brown, irregularly shaped body and mild, aromatic scent. This exquisite chromolithograph not only serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the fungi and truffles found in Europe but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of mycological exploration. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these fascinating organisms to life, making this an essential addition to any mycological collection or scientific archive.
