1861179351861. Book collection 1861-1957 assembling three works on mushrooms and truffles that document the development of mycology foraging practices and culinary uses of fungi across France England and Russia. The earliest volume by French naturalist Jules Rémy presents a mid-nineteenth-century synthesis of botanical observation and gastronomy detailing identification preservation and preparation of mushrooms and truffles within a European culinary tradition. The later English work by W. Delisle Hay reflects the expansion of amateur natural history in the late nineteenth century providing accessible guidance for identifying edible and poisonous species. The twentieth-century Russian volume extends this trajectory into a more modern scientific and instructional framework incorporating photographic illustration and systematic indexing. Together the collection traces changing approaches to fungi as objects of scientific study subsistence knowledge and culinary practice across multiple linguistic and national contexts.<br /> <br /> Rémy Jules.
