- In the upper margin is the title "BOTANY", and in the upper right-hand corner is printed "Lam. 6", which identifies it as engraving number 6 of a series on botany.
- In the lower margin are the identifications of the different mushrooms such as: Peziza Acetabulum, Morilla, Merulius lacrymans, Boletus Edulis, etc.

- Made in black monochrome, very well inked, centred with acceptable margins and with a good stamping.
