EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, titled "Mild Milkcap, Lactarius subdulcis, Edible and Rufous Milkcap, Lactarius rufus, Poisonous," is an exquisite example of the mycological illustrations created by Fritz Leuba in the late 19th century. Leuba, a renowned mycologist and artist from Neuchatel, Switzerland, meticulously captured the intricate details of these two distinct mushroom species in this beautiful work. The Mild Milkcap, Lactarius subdulcis, is depicted on the left side of the print. This edible mushroom is characterized by its cap, which ranges from light to dark brown and has a velvety appearance. The gills underneath are pale pink to brown, and the stem is white and smooth. The Mild Milkcap is a popular culinary mushroom in Europe and is known for its mild, nutty flavor. On the right side of the print, the Rufous Milkcap, Lactarius rufus, is illustrated. This poisonous mushroom is easily mistaken for its edible counterpart due to its similar appearance. However, the Rufous Milkcap can be identified by its reddish-brown cap and stem, which turns blue when bruised. The gills are pale pink to brown and have a wavy edge. Consuming the Rufous Milkcap can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, making it essential to differentiate it from the edible Milkcap. Leuba's illustrations, published in his book "Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms," were groundbreaking in the field of mycology, providing accurate and detailed depictions of various mushroom species. This chromolithograph is not only a testament to Leuba's artistic abilities but also an essential resource for mycologists and mushroom enthusiasts alike. The rich colors and intricate details of this print make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical mycological illustrations or natural history prints. This piece of art and science history transports us back to a time when the natural world was a source of endless fascination and discovery.
