About this work

This drawing is one of ten sheets in the album featuring images of various mushrooms. Some types can be consumed without worry, while others are poisonous or hallucinogenic. As the emperor's court physician, De Boodt would have been familiar with these side effects. Nevertheless, concrete warnings seem to be lacking on this page.
