Per quanto nn toccano corde estetiche come certe altre tavole micologiche storiche, queste di Boudier sono di altissimo pregio scientifico - difatti già nel 1922, solo 17 anni dopo la pubblicazione del primo di tre volumi illustrati, L. C. C. Krieger nel suo “Sketch of the History of Mycological Illustration” li considera secondi solo all’opera dei Tulasne, scrivendone:

“The 600 magnificent colored plates of Boudier's 1905 'Icones mycologicæ' run a close second to the Tulasne's chefs-d'oeuvre. It is a positive delight to use them; indeed, were all published plates like these, there would be little question as to the identity of species. In nearly every case he gives the plant in different stages of development; the sectional views are always included, as are also the microscopic details.
Only 125 copies were printed, of which 115 were sold to the original subscribers. Eight copies were subscribed for in the United States. The subscription price for the entire work of three atlas volumes and one of text was $210.00. Today, the price is rapidly approaching $500.00”

Oggi questi volumi comandano circa €7.000 - per fortuna sono liberamente consultabili grazie alla solita BHL.
