Photo Album with 232 Photographs of Mushrooms In Their Native Habitat
- [North America]: [no publisher], 1975
[North America]: [no publisher], 1975. Very Good. Blue cloth three-ring binder of 232 color print photographs of different mushroom species with taped manuscript spine label written in black and blue pen. 29 double-sided plastic sleeves with four compartments at front and back. All photographs are tipped onto sleeve sheets with 4 per page. All with Linnaean scientific name and a penciled number written below each photograph. Very Good with lifting to tape label at binder's spine, light scuffing and soiling to cloth; slight rippling to pages.
A fantastic, colorful collection of vintage mushroom photographs shot in the field by an unknown mycophile, with many familiar North American favorites such as magical fly agarics, morels (false morels, too), earth stars, lion's mane, and Coprinopsis atramentaria (inky caps). Edible and toxic varieties are present: an innocent bloom of chanterelles are pictured recto a deadly bed of destroying angels. Assemblages of photos this large related to mycology are scarce.
