EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph is a captivating representation of the Chocolate and Scarlet-colored Russula emetica and its pink variant, fragilis, from Leon Dufour's Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux (1891). The image showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details of these mushrooms, with their chocolate-brown caps speckled with scarlet-red warts, and the pinkish-hue of the fragilis variant. Russula emetica, commonly known as the Sickener or Emetic Russula, is a poisonous mushroom that has been known to cause gastrointestinal distress and vomiting in those who consume it. Despite its dangerous properties, the Chocolate and Scarlet-colored Russula has long been a subject of fascination for mycologists and naturalists due to its striking appearance. The pink variant, R. emetica var. fragilis, was first described by mycologist Paul Kummer in 1871. This mushroom is characterized by its paler coloration and more delicate appearance compared to its more robust counterpart. Both the Chocolate and Scarlet-colored Russula and its pink variant are found in Europe and North America, growing in deciduous and coniferous forests. Leon Dufour's Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux (1891) was a groundbreaking work in the field of mycology, featuring over 1,000 illustrations of edible and poisonous mushrooms. This chromolithograph is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of Dufour and his team, who captured the essence of these fascinating fungi for future generations to appreciate and study.
