EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Suede Bolete and Red Cracking Bolete: A Mycological Duo. This chromolithograph depicts two exquisite and edible bolete mushrooms, the Suede Bolete (Xerocomus subtomentosus, syn. Boletus subtomentosus) and the Red Cracking Bolete (Xerocomellus chrysenteron, syn. Boletus chrysenteron). The illustration is a masterpiece from the botanical works of William Hamilton Gibson, published in his seminal book "Our Edible Toadstools and Mushrooms" in 1895 by Harper, New York. The Suede Bolete, also known as the Velvet-stemmed Bolete, is characterized by its velvety, brown cap and a stem that is covered in fine, white hairs. This mushroom is commonly found in hardwood forests in North America and Europe, and it is renowned for its delicious taste and nutty aroma. The Red Cracking Bolete, on the other hand, boasts a bright red cap that turns brown when handled, and a stem that is covered in fine, white scales. This mushroom is also known as the Cracking Bolete due to the cracking or fissuring that occurs on the cap as it matures. It is found in coniferous forests in North America and Europe, and it is considered a delicacy in many culinary traditions. Mycology, the scientific study of fungi, has long been fascinated by the diverse and intriguing world of mushrooms and toadstools. This chromolithograph is not only a beautiful testament to the artistry of botanical illustration but also a valuable record of the natural history of these two edible bolete species. William Hamilton Gibson's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accurate representation make this illustration an essential resource for mycologists, naturalists, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world. The Suede Bolete and Red Cracking Bolete, as depicted in this stunning chromolithograph, continue to captivate and inspire us with their unique beauty and culinary delights.
