An unprecedented two-volume exploration of the fungi of temperate
Europe
Fungi of Temperate Europe is one of the most comprehensive mycological
guides ever published. Featuring more than 7,000 photographs, this
lavish two-volume set treats more than 2,800 species of fungi across the
region.
Including agarics, boletes, chanterelles and morels but also more
obscure groups such as cyphelloids, cup fungi, pyrenomycetous fungi and
hysterioids, this guide takes an unprecedentedly broad approach to
communicating fungal diversity. All species are illustrated with one or
more photographs and information is given on morphology, ecology and
distribution within temperate Europe. Furthermore, 1,500+ species are
discussed as potential look-alikes. The books are divided into eighty
"form groups," each starting with an innovative comparison wheel with
guiding photos, distinguishing characteristics and drawings of essential
microscopic features. Poisonous and edible species are colour coded
within the text.
Revealing the world of fungi in all its splendour, Fungi of Temperate
Europe is a must-have resource for any amateur or professional
mycologist.
