This stunning 1873 print by Walsh, titled "Mushrooms Walsh 25-30," showcases an exquisite array of various mushroom species. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of mycology, the scientific study of fungi. Among the 25-30 identified fungi, three poisonous varieties are distinctly labeled in green. The first, Lactarius toxicarius, is also known as the green milk-cap, which contains the toxin monomethylhydrazine. The second, Russula emetica, or the emetic russula, is infamous for its ability to induce violent vomiting and diarrhea. Lastly, the green-spotted webcap, Cortinarius orellanus, is a deadly mushroom that can cause severe liver damage and even death. The intricate details of each mushroom's cap, stem, and gills are captured with remarkable precision, making this print a valuable historical document for mycologists and enthusiasts alike. The print's antique charm transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of these fascinating organisms. Mushrooms have long held a significant place in human culture, from their use in traditional medicine to their role in various culinary practices. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of proper identification when foraging for wild mushrooms, as some can be deadly if mistaken for their edible counterparts. In conclusion, "Mushrooms Walsh 25-30" is an essential addition to any mycology collection, offering a captivating glimpse into the diverse world of fungi and the importance of understanding their various characteristics, including those that can pose a threat.
