EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the notoriously poisonous Scarlet Satan, also known as the Satan's Bolete or Poisonous Scarlet, Boletus satanas. This mushroom is a vibrant, scarlet-red color and is a member of the bolete family. The image is taken from Leon Dufour's Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux (1891), a seminal work in the history of mycology. Dufour's atlas was one of the most comprehensive and accurate records of edible and poisonous mushrooms at the time, and this print is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that Dufour and his team brought to their work. The Satan's Bolete is one of the most toxic mushrooms in Europe, and its bright red color is a warning to foragers and mycophiles alike. The mushroom contains the toxin ibotenic acid, which can cause hallucinations, seizures, and even death if ingested. Despite its danger, the Satan's Bolete has long been a subject of fascination for mycologists and naturalists. Its striking appearance and intriguing toxicity have made it a symbol of the complex and often dangerous world of mushroom hunting. This chromolithograph is a beautiful and intriguing reminder of the rich history of mycology and the importance of careful identification when foraging for wild mushrooms. The intricate details of the mushroom's texture and color are captured in vivid detail, making it a must-have for any mycology enthusiast or collector of historical botanical prints.
