EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Lassus after an illustration by A. Bessin for Leon Rolland's "Guide to Mushrooms from France, Switzerland, and Belgium," showcases two exquisite fungi species: the Freckled Dapperling (Lepiota aspera, syn. Lepiota acutesquamosa) and the European Matsutake (Tricholoma caligatum, syn. Armillaria caligata). The image, published in the Atlas des Champignons by Paul Klincksieck in Paris in 1910, offers a glimpse into the rich mycological heritage of Europe during the early 20th century. The Freckled Dapperling, also known as the Wavy-capped Dapperling, is a small, brown-capped mushroom with distinctive white wavy lines and red-brown spots. It is a common find in deciduous and coniferous forests across Europe and North America. The Dapperling is a popular edible mushroom, known for its nutty and slightly sweet flavor. The European Matsutake, or Black Chanterelle, is a highly prized and elusive mushroom, with a distinctive, strong aroma. Its cap is dark brown to black, with a velvety texture and wavy, irregular edges. The European Matsutake forms a symbiotic relationship with certain trees, particularly beech and oak, and is often found near their roots. Its culinary value is significant, with a market value that can reach high prices due to its rarity and distinct flavor profile. This stunning chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the fungi world and the dedication of mycologists like Leon Rolland and A. Bessin to documenting these fascinating organisms. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the importance of preserving and understanding the natural world around us.
