These detailed copperplate engravings by Carl Gustav Jablonsky depict various species of the genus Tricholoma, illustrating the intricate morphology of mushroom caps, gills, stems, and spores. Each specimen is rendered with scientific precision and aesthetic refinement, reflecting Jablonsky’s commitment to the early Linnaean taxonomy and natural history. These plates serve as important visual references in the study of fungi from the late 18th century.

Carl Gustav Jablonsky (1756–1787) was a Prussian illustrator and early advocate of Linnaean taxonomy. As private secretary to Queen Elisabeth Christine of Prussia, he worked at the intersection of science and courtly culture. His illustrations of fungi, insects, and other natural subjects remain among the most sophisticated visual documents of late 18th-century natural history.
