Fig. 2

A representative plate from the Harvard Icones depicting various species of gilled mushrooms in water colour (adapted from plate 47). Each figure shows two mushrooms in the round with a reduced insert showing one in longitudinal section through the center. Though most of the figures throughout the Harvard Icones are identified, a handful are not (upper left). Some figures have tentative identifications written in faint pencil (upper right). Others have numbers written in faint pencil beside them (upper and lower right). To what the numbers refer to remains unknown. Upper left: unidentified gilled mushroom. Upper right: “Cort. decoras”, “(48)”. Centre: Agaricus (Lepiota) carcharias. Lower left: Agaricus (Lactifluus) testaceus. Lower right: Agaricus (Gymnopus) psittacinus, “(8)”.
