1873 Agaricus Coprinus Funghi Items Labelled Mushroom Mushrooms Pla Nts Poisonous Varieties Walsh
EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating photograph, titled "Mushrooms Walsh 7-11," is a historical record of various mushroom and fungi specimens, showcasing their unique shapes, textures, and colors. Taken in the late 19th century, the image is a testament to the rich history of mycology, the scientific study of fungi. The photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, features eleven different mushroom and fungi varieties, some of which are labeled in the image. Among these, three poisonous items are identified with a green label for caution. The three poisonous mushrooms are the Agaricus xanthodermus, Coprinus satanas, and Amanita virosa. The Agaricus xanthodermus, also known as the yellow-staining Agaricus, is a common mushroom that can be found in grasslands and forests. However, it can be confused with the deadly Amanita phalloides, or Death Cap, which can cause severe poisoning and even death if mistakenly consumed. The Coprinus satanas, or Inky Cap, is a common mushroom that is often found in lawns and gardens. It is known for its distinctive inky black cap that forms when the cap comes into contact with water or moisture. Despite its common name, it is not a desirable edible mushroom and can cause gastrointestinal symptoms if ingested. The Amanita virosa, or Destroying Angel, is one of the deadliest mushrooms in the world. It is a white mushroom with a white cap and white gills, making it difficult to distinguish from edible white mushrooms. Consumption of the Amanita virosa can lead to severe poisoning and death due to its potent toxins. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of proper identification and caution when foraging for wild mushrooms and fungi. It also highlights the rich history and diversity of these fascinating organisms, which have captivated scientists, naturalists, and enthusiasts for centuries.
