Color plate of mushrooms drawn by Adolphe Millot, published in the French encyclopedia Larousse Pour Tous, ca. 1909.
Each example is categorized by a letter. C = Comestible (edible) V = Vénéneux (poisonous) I = Indifférent —neither harmful nor useful, not worth eating but won't hurt you S = Suspect — meaning the mushroom's safety is uncertain or debated, not definitively poisonous but not to be trusted.
