EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, titled "Scarlet Hood, Hygrocybe coccinea, and Witch's Hat, Hygrocybe conica," is a beautiful example of the exquisite illustrative work of Fritz Leuba, a renowned mycologist and artist from Neuchatel, Switzerland. Produced in 1890, this illustration showcases two edible mushroom species, the Scarlet Hood, Hygrocybe coccinea, and the Witch's Hat, Hygrocybe conica. The Scarlet Hood, also known as the Scarlet Agaric or Scarlet-capped Hygrocybe, is a small, bright red mushroom with a distinctive bell-shaped cap and a white, fibrous stem. It is a mycorrhizal fungus, forming symbiotic relationships with the roots of various trees. The Scarlet Hood is a popular and edible mushroom, highly valued for its vibrant color and delicate flavor. The Witch's Hat, or Witch's Bonnet, is another edible mushroom species, characterized by its conical, witches' hat-like cap and slender, cylindrical stem. Hygrocybe conica is commonly found in grasslands and forests, often growing in clusters. This mushroom is also known for its edible and delicious fruiting bodies, which can be used in various culinary applications. Fritz Leuba's meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery are evident in this print. The illustration not only showcases the visual beauty of these mushroom species but also serves as an essential reference for mycological studies. As a mycologist and artist, Leuba's work continues to inspire and captivate audiences, providing a glimpse into the rich history of mushroom research and appreciation.
