Report of the microscopist, U.S. Department of Agriculture 1892

Curiosità: quella bella tavola scientifica del microscopista, nel rapporto ministeriale americano, viene accompagnata da considerazioni pratico-culinarie (vedi a p. 282/324 qui):

In my present report, my first two illustrations represent two species of the genus Amanita, the first, called popularly “the orange,” an edible mushroom; the second, “the false orange,” a poisonous species. Some of the most beautiful species of this genus have been mistaken for the edible species, and for this reason all the nutritious esculents of this class have been considered doubtftul, especially in America, and bushels — not to say tons — of valuable nitrogenous food are annually wasted that would otherwise, under proper cultivation, yield a fruitful food supply and source of revenue. […]

The following methods of preparing the foregoing edible mushrooms for the table will be found useful:

“The Orange.” Remove peel and stems, but reserve the upper half of the stems. Rinse the mushrooms well in cold water, take them out and wipe them dry in a soft cloth. Make force meat with the upper part of the stems minced, bread crumbs, sweet herbs, garlic, pepper, salt, and a little oil. Pack this upon the gills of the mushrooms. Put them on a plate in a hot oven and continue to baste them with oil. Give them fifteen minutes and serve. They are much improved by roasting before a hot fire in a Dutch oven.


Interessante che era d'uso un nome derivato dalla combinazione vernacolare francese (d'origine occitana) oronge / fausse oronge...
