EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, hailing from Leon Dufour's Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux (1891), showcases a fascinating array of poisonous fungi, including the notorious Poisonous stinkhorn mushroom, Phallus impudicus, and the Birds nest fungus, Cyathus hirsutus. The image, a testament to the rich history of mycology, offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of fungi and their diverse forms. The Poisonous stinkhorn mushroom, Phallus impudicus, is aptly named for its distinctive, phallic shape and pungent odor, which attracts flies and other insects to aid in its spore dispersal. Despite its allure, this mushroom is highly toxic, containing the potent toxin phallotoxin, which can cause severe gastrointestinal distress and even death if ingested. The Birds nest fungus, Cyathus hirsutus, is equally intriguing, with its distinctive cup-like structure that resembles a bird's nest. This fungus derives its name from its unique ability to attract and trap small insects, which fall into the cup and become trapped in a sticky substance, providing a nutrient-rich food source for the fungus. This beautiful and intricate print, produced using the chromolithograph process, offers a glimpse into the world of mycology as it was understood over a century ago. The meticulous attention to detail and vivid colors showcase the captivating allure and intrigue of these fascinating organisms, while also serving as a reminder of the potential dangers that lie hidden in the natural world.
