EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts two edible mushroom species, the Hedgehog Mushroom (Hydnum repandum) and the Scaly Hedgehog Mushroom (Sarcodon imbricatus), captured in intricate detail by the skilled hand of mycologist and artist Fritz Leuba in 1890. Leuba, a native of Neuchatel, Switzerland, was renowned for his meticulous illustrations of various fungi, showcasing their unique features and textures. The Hedgehog Mushroom, also known as the Hedgehog Sparassis, is easily identified by its distinctive warty, hedgehog-like surface, which provides excellent camouflage among leaf litter. A popular edible mushroom, it is often found in deciduous and mixed forests, particularly in Europe and North America. The Scaly Hedgehog Mushroom, on the other hand, boasts a smooth, scaly, and brownish-red cap, with a white, porous stem. This mushroom is also edible and is often found in coniferous forests, particularly in Europe and North America. This exquisite illustration, titled "Hydnum repandum et Sarcodon imbricatus," is a testament to Leuba's dedication to documenting the natural world and his artistic prowess. The chromolithograph process, a popular method for producing color prints during the late 19th century, allowed for vibrant and detailed images, making this an invaluable resource for mycologists and naturalists of the time. As we admire the intricacies of these mushrooms, we are reminded of the rich history of mycology and the importance of documenting the natural world for future generations.
