  • Exquisite Fungi Model – Boletus Pinophilus

    Exquisite Fungi Model – Boletus Pinophilus

    French (who else) model of the edible fungi Boletus Pinophilus. Made likely just after WWII and still in near perfect condition. Stands 17 cms tall and is made to a high standard. Commonly known as the Pine Bolete or Pinewood King Bolete this beauty is regarded as a form of porcini.

    Quite common in Europe in pine forests – including Scotland and the South of France where it seems to be more prolific. The flesh is white, soft and does not change colour when bruised. The taste is pleasant and has been likened to pork and pork crackling (yummy).

    Collectable Fungi for those that understand and desire them. Click on me to see my proud fungusness!

  • The Monitory Lizard – Shaw and Nodder – 1790

    The Monitory Lizard – Shaw and Nodder – 1790

    The Monitory or Black Lizard first described with this image by Shaw. The name “Monitor” came from a belief that in the vicinity of a Crocodile this lizard would produce a high shrill cry which would provide a warning that Crocodiles are about. Seemingly, not to be relied upon.

    Copper engraved and hand coloured by Shaw & Nodder and published in London in 1790 (dated in the plate). Shaw was in charge of the Natural History Department at the British Museum. Frederick Nodder was a natural history artist and worked for Banks on his Florilegium.
