EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph from the 1891 Atlas of edible and venenous mushrooms by French mycologist Leon Marie Dufour captures the intricate details of Cortinarius fungi. The print showcases two species, Cortinarius altaicus and Cortinarius caperatus, known for their distinct characteristics.
Cortinarius altaicus, also known as Cortinary high, is depicted with its unique shape and coloration. This mushroom is highly sought after by foragers for its culinary uses in various dishes. On the other hand, Cortinarius caperatus, or Cortinary with a goat smell, stands out for its pungent odor resembling that of a goat.
The meticulous attention to detail in this artwork highlights Dufour's expertise in mycology and his dedication to documenting the diverse world of mushrooms. Each specimen is carefully illustrated to showcase its unique features, making it an invaluable resource for botanists and enthusiasts alike.
As we admire this historical print, we are transported back to a time when scientific illustration was at the forefront of botanical studies. The vibrant colors and precise rendering bring these mushrooms to life on paper, allowing us to appreciate their beauty and complexity in a whole new light.
