MODELS OF FUNGI 379 



lustre, if properly managed and contrasted, without appearing 

 at all "painty." Indeed, it is often difficult to determine the 

 real from the model when skilfully managed. 



When executed in glue-composition or in wax, fungi should, 

 as stated before, be coloured either by the introduction of oil- 

 colour into the composition, or by subsequent treatment with 

 oil-pigments. 



Models of various fungi are represented on Plate XIX. On 

 the right-hand side, at the bottom, are shown the upper and 

 under moulds of a Tricholoma personatus, an edible fungus, and 

 the group of six rounded ones by the frog, in the centre fore- 

 ground, some of them showing their under surfaces, are models 

 of the same species executed in glue-composition (Formula 96) 

 and coloured. The seven dark, closely-pyramidal fungi on the 

 extreme right, in front of the mould and starfish, are glue models 

 (Formula 96), uncoloured, of that delicious fungus Coprinus 

 comatus, whilst the three light-coloured, similarly-shaped fungi 

 in the centre at the back are models of the same species 

 executed in paper and coloured, and the tall campanulate one 

 to the left and above them is a model, also in paper, of 

 Coprinus atratus. The four small cup-shaped fungi shown on 

 the tablet in the background near the starfish are executed in 

 wax and coloured. Three fungi on the left are : the sweet- 

 bread, Orcella deliciosus, at the front ; another at the back of 

 that, and, on the extreme left, a rough, dome-shaped, common 

 species often found in gardens, and these three are uncoloured. 

 Above, between two fronds of seaweed, are shown the under 

 surfaces or gills of two conjoined fungi, Colly bia velutipes, 

 executed in coloured glue (Formula 97).
