Original Antique 19th C Hand Colored Lithograph Mushrooms Fungi Inocybe Species by Carl Gustav Jablonsky.

This beautifully detailed botanical plate, titled Inócybe (Taf. 29), features nine species from the Inocybe genus of mushrooms: Inocybe asterospora, cárpta, praetervisa, decipiens, umbrina, petiginosa, lanuginosa, fibrosa, and destricta. Each specimen is illustrated with emphasis on cap texture, gill structure, and stem form, accompanied by accurate depictions of spores and microscopic features. The meticulous hand-coloring in golden ochres and chestnut tones gives the print both scientific precision and aesthetic warmth. Likely produced as part of a 19th-century mycological reference work, this lithograph stands as a testament to the era's botanical artistry and taxonomic rigor.
