In 1836, the Japanese naturalist Mōri Baigenshū’s meticulous painting, “Baigenshū’s Compendium of Fungi,” depicted a remarkable group of organisms in nature: fungi, which were classified into wood-inhabiting and soil-dwelling types. The former comprised 39 species, while the latter numbered 120, for a total of 159 species.
