EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the intricate details of the Plaited Yellow Tremella, scientifically known as Tremella mesenterica. The fungus, also referred to as the Golden Jelly Fungus or the Trembling Tremella, is a member of the Ascomycetes family and is known for its unique, brain-like appearance. James Sowerby, a renowned English botanical artist, created the original drawing upon which this engraving is based. Sowerby was a prolific artist who produced over 1,000 botanical illustrations during his career. His work was published in James Smith's English Botany, a comprehensive and highly regarded botanical reference work. The Plaited Yellow Tremella is a saprophytic fungus, meaning it obtains its nutrients by decomposing dead organic matter. It is commonly found in woodlands, particularly in damp locations. The fungus forms irregular, yellowish masses, resembling a brain or a cluster of grapes. The surface of the fungus is covered in tiny, plaited, gelatinous strands, which give it its distinctive appearance. The intricate details of the Plaited Yellow Tremella's structure are beautifully captured in this handcoloured copperplate engraving. The delicate shading and precise lines bring out the fungus's unique features, providing a fascinating glimpse into the natural world. This exquisite botanical illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the fungi kingdom and the skill of the artist and engraver.
