EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print showcases two beloved edible mushroom varieties: the Prince mushroom (Agaricus augustus, also known as Psalliota augusta) and the Field mushroom (Agaricus campestris, or Psalliota campestris). The image, created by the skilled hands of A. Bessin and beautifully rendered by Lassus, is taken from Leon Rolland's seminal mycological guide, "Atlas des Champignons," published by Paul Klincksieck in Paris in 1910. The Prince mushroom, with its distinctive purple-brown cap and white gills, is a popular culinary delight in Europe. Its close relative, the Field mushroom, boasts a brown cap with white or brownish-grey warts and a white veil covering the stem. Both mushrooms are widely distributed in France, Switzerland, and Belgium, and have been cherished for their savory flavors and textures for generations. Mycology, the scientific study of fungi, has long held a fascination for naturalists, chefs, and food enthusiasts alike. This exquisite print not only serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of these fascinating organisms, but also as a reminder of the rich cultural and culinary history they represent. Whether used as a decorative piece or a source of inspiration in the kitchen, this image of the Prince and Field mushrooms is a must-have for any mycophile's collection.
