EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts two intriguing and visually distinct mushroom species: the Buttery Collybia (Collybia butyracea) and the Spindleshank Mushroom (Gymnopus fusipes), also known as Collybia fusipes. The image is based on an original illustration by A. Bessin, published in Leon Rolland's seminal mycological guide, "Atlas des Champignons," published by Paul Klincksieck in Paris in 1910. The Buttery Collybia, with its golden-brown cap and white gills, is a delightful find in the forest floor. Its cap is convex when young, becoming plane or slightly umbonate with age, while its gills are close and adnate to the stem. The Buttery Collybia is a saprophytic fungus, feeding on dead organic matter, and is commonly found in deciduous and coniferous forests. The Spindleshank Mushroom, on the other hand, is characterized by its long, slender stem and narrow, lanceolate cap. Its cap is initially white, becoming brownish with age, while its stem is white and fibrous. The Spindleshank Mushroom is a mycorrhizal fungus, forming symbiotic relationships with the roots of various trees. Both species are native to France, Switzerland, and Belgium, and were meticulously documented and illustrated in Rolland's comprehensive guide to the mushrooms of these countries. The chromolithograph by Lassus captures the essence of these fascinating fungi, showcasing their unique features in exquisite detail. Mycology enthusiasts and art lovers alike will appreciate the beauty and scientific accuracy of this historical print.
