Mycologist Maurice Burke Walter’s collection of fungi is also housed here-a fascinating collection revealing the often-solitary forays of the rather-retiring Walters, the then-nascent science of mycology, and the evolving interest of the USDA in documenting the nation's fungi species (over 10,000 named species are found in the US). Alongside Walter’s beautiful botanical illustrations, are field notes, observational sketches, and occasionally enigmatic photographs of fungi (within USDA laboratories, in the wild, and elsewhere).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA natural accompaniment to Atelier Éditions’ popular 2021 publication, \u003cem\u003eAn Illustrated Catalog of American Fruits \u0026amp; Nuts\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAn Illustrated Catalog of American Mushrooms\u003c\/em\u003e contains an eclectic assortment of illustrated and documented fungi species drawn from Walters collection.
