EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph is an exquisite illustration from Leon Dufour's Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux (1891), showcasing the Edible Peppery Milk-cap (Lactarius piperatus) and the Poisonous Woolly Milk-cap (Lactarius torminosus). The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of mycology, the study of mushrooms and other fungi. The Edible Peppery Milk-cap, depicted on the left, is a delightful find for foragers and gastronomes. With its vibrant red-brown cap and white pores, it is easily recognizable. The mushroom's most notable feature is its peppery taste, which adds an exciting twist to dishes. On the right, the Poisonous Woolly Milk-cap (Lactarius torminosus) is a dangerous imposter, often mistaken for its edible counterpart. Its woolly, white cap and red-brown pores are similar to the Edible Peppery Milk-cap, but the Poisonous Woolly Milk-cap contains the toxin monomethylhydrazine, which can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms and liver damage. This detailed illustration, created in 1891, highlights the importance of accurate identification in the world of mycology. Leon Dufour's Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux was a groundbreaking work, providing vital information on both edible and poisonous mushrooms, and serving as a valuable resource for mycologists, chefs, and curious minds alike. The intricate details and vivid colors of this chromolithograph not only showcase the beauty of these fungi but also underscore the importance of understanding the natural world around us.
