Boletus Luridus – Vermilion-Pored Bolete Mushroom, Vintage Mycological Plate

This remarkable vintage mycological illustration depicts Boletus luridus, historically presented under the French name Bolet à pores vermillons. Multiple views reveal the mushroom’s distinctive reddish-brown cap, yellow and vermilion colouring, substantial stem, and characteristic anatomical details.

Designed as a scientific study rather than a purely decorative botanical image, the plate combines complete mushroom specimens with carefully labelled sectional views. Its warm natural palette, precise observational detail, and softly aged paper create an authentic nineteenth-century natural-history aesthetic.
