EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph, titled "Lilac Bonnet and Violet Chanterelles," is a stunning representation of two distinct and intriguing fungi species: Mycena pura, also known as the Lilac Bonnet, and Gomphus clavatus, or the Pigs Ears or Violet Chanterelles. The illustration, created by A. Bessin and published in Leon Rolland's seminal mycological guide, "Atlas des Champignons," in 1910, showcases the unique beauty of these mushrooms. The Lilac Bonnet, with its delicate, lilac-hued cap and white gills, is a small, unassuming mushroom commonly found in Europe and North America. Mycena pura is known for its bioluminescent properties, emitting a soft blue-green glow in the dark. This fascinating trait, which is not visible in the illustration, adds an extra layer of intrigue to this already captivating fungus. The Violet Chanterelles, depicted in the print with their distinctive, ear-like caps and violet-tinged stems, are another delightful find in the forest floor. The Craterellus clavatus, a close relative of Gomphus clavatus, is often mistakenly referred to as the Violet Chanterelle. However, the two species can be distinguished by their differences in cap shape and stem color. This beautifully detailed chromolithograph, produced by Lassus, offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of fungi, showcasing the delicate intricacies of these fascinating organisms. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail make this print a must-have for any mycology enthusiast or nature lover.
