EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning plate, number LXXIII, is taken from "Illustrations of British Mycology" by Anna Maria Hussey, a seminal work in the field of mycology published in 1822. The image showcases the Agaricus adustus, a species of bracket fungus belonging to the Agaricales order and the Agaricaceae family within the phylum Basidiomycota. Agaricus adustus is commonly known as the "Brown-capped Bracket" or "Brown Bracket," and it is characterized by its brown cap and bracket-like structure, which grows on dead or dying wood. Bracket fungi, also known as shelf fungi, are a diverse group of fungi that grow on dead or dying wood, often forming large, conspicuous fruiting bodies. They play a crucial role in the decomposition process, breaking down dead wood and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. The Agaricomycetes, to which Agaricus adustus belongs, is the largest and most diverse order of fungi, with over 10,000 described species. Anna Maria Hussey's meticulous illustrations of various fungi, including Agaricus adustus, were groundbreaking in their time and remain an essential resource for mycologists and naturalists today. This plate, in particular, showcases the intricate details of the fungus's cap, pores, and stem, providing a window into the fascinating world of fungi and their role in the natural world.
