EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Pasture Mushroom, Macrolepiota procera, also known as Agaricus procerus. The image is an exquisite reproduction of a botanical illustration by the renowned mycologist and artist, William Hamilton Gibson, from his seminal work "Our Edible Toadstools and Mushrooms," published in New York by Harper in 1895. Macrolepiota procera is a common and widely distributed edible mushroom, found in grasslands and pastures throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. With its tall, conical cap and white, free gills, it is easily identified by mushroom enthusiasts and foragers. The cap can range in size from 10 to 25 centimeters, and its color varies from pale brown to reddish-brown, with a velvety texture and a distinctive, earthy aroma. Gibson's meticulous illustration captures the intricate details of the Pasture Mushroom's anatomy, from the delicate gills to the subtle variations in cap color and texture. The artist's skillful use of color and shading brings the mushroom to life, making it a true work of art as well as a valuable resource for mycological study. As a leading mycologist and botanical illustrator of his time, Gibson's work was instrumental in advancing the scientific understanding of fungi and their role in the natural world. "Our Edible Toadstools and Mushrooms" remains a classic in the field of mycology, and this chromolithograph is a testament to Gibson's enduring legacy.
