Coloured Plate 16 from 'Edible & Poisonous Mushrooms' by Mordecai Cooke, published in 1894. Cooke was a well-known 19th century Victorian expert on British mushrooms and fungus - a sort of David Attenborough in the botanical world at that period in history. - Species shown are: Emetic Russule / Russula emetica [1], Fiery Milk-Mushroom / Lactarius pyrogalus [2], Shaggy Milk-Mushroom / Lactarius torminosus [3] - The pages of the old original book are variously foxed (yellowed) and I have digitally cleaned up serious page blemishes and print imperfections, and the occasional page tear, stain, or crease, while pushing the curves in LR to lift the darkness of the yellow page tint. Desaturation is not an option because parts of fungi shown are yellow, & a similar tale with lightening the yellow channel. Flood filling the blank areas with a light tone is an option.
