EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Seven Varieties of Mushroom," dates back to 1869 and was published by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image showcases an intriguing assortment of mushroom varieties, each displaying their unique characteristics that have fascinated naturalists and enthusiasts for centuries. At the center, the Beefsteak mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) boasts a large, flat cap with a brown, meaty texture, making it a popular choice for culinary purposes. The Latticed St George's Mushroom (Calocybe gambosa) is depicted with its intricately patterned, honeycomb-like cap, while the Boletus (Boletus edulis) displays its distinctive, red, porous cap and white pores on the underside. The Hedgehog Mushroom (Hydnum repandum) is easily recognizable with its red, spiky cap and creamy, white gills. The Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) is a striking presence with its large, red, round cap adorned with white spots and a white, warts-covered stem. The Clavaria (Clavaria zollingeri) is a unique, slender, and elongated mushroom with a honeycomb-like structure, while the Bird's Nest Fungus (Cyathus olla) is a fascinating, cup-shaped fungus with a sporangium at its center, which resembles a bird's nest. The sporangium, a crucial part of the fungus's life cycle, is magnified in the image, revealing the intricate details of its structure. This photograph not only offers a historical glimpse into the world of funghi but also highlights the diverse and intriguing beauty of these fascinating organisms. The captivating arrangement and detailed presentation of these mushroom varieties in this 1869 photograph showcase the enduring allure of these natural wonders, making it an essential addition to any collection of botanical or mycological prints.
