Large Educational Mushroom Made Of Latex.

This vintage educational model from the IVAC or Boubée schools depicts one of the most recognizable and graceful woodland mushrooms: the Parasol Mushroom (Lepiota procera). The cap reaches a height of 35 cm above its stem… Made entirely of natural latex. Created between the 1950s and 1960s, it was part of the natural science teaching materials, used to introduce students to botany and mycology. The Parasol Mushroom is edible, but only its cap is edible; its fibrous and tough stem is not.
