EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph showcases two exquisite wood mushroom species: Agaricus sylvicola (Psalliota sylvicola) and Agaricus langei (Psalliota haemorrhoidaria). The intricately detailed illustration, created by A. Bessin and beautifully rendered in color by Lassus, is taken from Leon Rolland's esteemed "Guide to Mushrooms from France, Switzerland, and Belgium," published by Paul Klincksieck in Paris in 1910. Agaricus sylvicola, also known as the Wood Blewit or Saffron Milkcap, is a delicious and sought-after edible mushroom. It boasts a cap that ranges from pale brown to reddish-brown, with a velvety texture and a distinct, pleasant smell. The gills are white and turn pink when bruised, releasing a milky latex. The Agaricus langei, or the Scarlet-stain Agaric, is another edible mushroom with a vibrant appearance. Its cap is brown with a reddish tinge, and the gills are initially white but turn a deep red when handled. This mushroom is named for its distinctive staining property, which can make for an interesting culinary experience. Mycology enthusiasts and collectors will appreciate the exquisite artistry and scientific accuracy of this beautiful chromolithograph, which captures the essence of these two fascinating wood mushroom species. The intricate details and rich colors bring the fungi to life, making it a must-have addition to any mycological library or display. This print is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the dedication of mycologists like Leon Rolland and illustrators like A. Bessin and Lassus, who have spent countless hours studying and documenting these fascinating organisms for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
