About the Item

The image uploaded is a hand-colored engraving depicting various fungi, likely from the 'Dictionnaire Classique des Sciences Naturelles' by Pierre Auguste Joseph Drapiez, published in 1845. Here's a description of each depicted fungus and a proposed title for the image: 1. **Agaric Orange (Orange Agaric)**: This mushroom features a cap with an orange-brown color and a white stalk. The underside gills and the volva at the base are also illustrated. 2. **Pezize Bleue (Blue Cup Fungus)**: These are depicted as cup-shaped fungi with a rich blue interior and a pale outer surface, likely representing the genus Peziza. 3. **Tremelle Oreille de Judas (Judas's Ear Fungus)**: A brown, ear-shaped fungus that resembles the species commonly known as "wood ear" or "Judas's ear" (Auricularia auricula-judae). 4. **Clathre Frisé (Latticed Stinkhorn)**: This striking fungus has a reddish, lattice-like spherical structure, likely representing the Clathrus species. 5. **Phallus Orange (Orange Stinkhorn)**: Illustrated is the tall, cylindrical and orange fruiting body of a stinkhorn fungus, with a mesh-like structure at the top. 6. **Lycoperdon Ciselé (Carved Puffball)**: This puffball mushroom is shown with a textured surface, indicative of the genus Lycoperdon. 7. **Lycoperdon Gigantesque, coupé (Giant Puffball, Cutaway View)**: A sectional view of a giant puffball, showing the dense spore mass inside. 8. **Truffe Comestible (Edible Truffle)**: Depicted are several dark, rounded truffles with a warty surface, a delicacy in many cuisines. 9. **Truffe (Truffle, Sectional View)**: A cutaway view of a truffle, showing the intricate marbled pattern of its flesh. A suitable title for this image could be "Illustrated Fungi from 'Dictionnaire Classique des Sciences Naturelles' (1845)". These illustrations are detailed and serve both a scientific and educational purpose, as well as a historical record of mycology in the 19th century.
