Excerpt from List of the Water-Color Drawings of Fungi by George E. Morris in the Peabody Museum of Salem
Becoming interested in mushrooms in the late nineties, probably to a large extent through their coloring, and real izing the perishable nature and unsatisfactory character of preserved specimens of these plants, he devoted his spare time during the warmer months for the remainder of his life very largely to collecting, studying, and delineating them with artistic effectiveness and scientific precision; and with such diligence did he work that about 1100 portraits of the fleshy fungi remain for the benefit of posterity. These drawings form the subject of this List.
Mr. Morris discovered numerous new species in the course of his study, four of which were named in his honor, one each in the genera Amanita, Boletus, Cortinarius, and Hygrophorus. Though a critical student and knowing well the scientific worth of his finds, it was his modest practice, on the ground that he was not a professional botanist, to refer his discoveries for technical description and publication to Professor Charles H. Peck, of Albany, New York. Undoubtedly, previous to Mr. Morris' death, nearly all of his drawings of mushrooms were examined by this authority.
