Peppery and Red-Cracked Bolete Mushrooms — Antique Botanical Postcard

Two peppery bolete mushrooms rise on slim orange stems at the top of this plate, while below, a red-cracking bolete is shown three ways: whole, split open to reveal pale yellow flesh, and from the side with a blushing pink-tinged base. Both species carry the original illustrator's suspect mark.

Two species share this plate, making it an easy way to start a conversation about foraging safely.
