EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, taken from Leon Dufour's Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux (1891), showcases two exquisite and highly prized edible mushrooms growing harmoniously at the base of a tree. The larger mushroom is identified as the Eringi mushroom, or King Trumpet mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii), while the smaller, fan-shaped mushrooms are Tree Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). Dufour's Atlas, considered a seminal work in the history of mycology, was one of the most comprehensive and accurate records of edible and poisonous mushrooms available during its time. The intricately detailed illustration highlights the unique features of each mushroom, from their textured caps and gills to their sturdy stems and roots. The Eringi mushroom, also known as the French Horn or Horn of Plenty, is a popular and highly regarded edible mushroom with a rich, earthy flavor and meaty texture. It is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, and can be found growing on the sides of trees, particularly oaks and pines. Tree Oyster mushrooms, on the other hand, are a common and widely cultivated edible mushroom. They have a delicate, slightly sweet flavor and a soft, tender texture. These mushrooms grow on dead or dying trees and are often found in wooded areas throughout the world. The inclusion of these two mushrooms in Dufour's Atlas underscores their significance in the culinary and mycological worlds during the late 19th century. Today, they remain popular choices for gourmet cooks and mushroom enthusiasts alike, and continue to be studied and appreciated for their unique characteristics and contributions to the natural world.
