One of the mushroom moulage specimens that is thought to have been brought in to The Fourth Higher School by ICHIMURA Tsutsumi, a professor at the time. This item is a moulage specimen of an "akajikau" mushroom (boletus speciosus, boletaceae genus, boletaceae family, agaricus campestris order). Moulages are wax models that use a mold, and were mainly made as medical education specimens to show the form of skin diseases. Mushroom moulage specimens are an application of this technique, and were created as educational specimens for botany or natural history. The creator is thought to be Yamakoshi Kousakusho Manufacturing.

Established in 1989 to preserve and utilize valuable materials handed down from the predecessor school when the university campus was relocated from Kanazawa Castle Site. Former teaching materials such as beautifully shaped physics experiment apparatus and mushroom moulage specimens that allow you to observe mushrooms as they were 100 years ago are fun-to-see natural museum materials in the museum's collection. The museum also holds many archive such as timetables that show the hard work of medical students 100 years ago, as well as archaeological materials excavated within the campus.
