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.
