"Correct identification of the different genera and species of fungi requires careful analysis of their appearance and structure. To ensure that the fruiting bodies are shown in their true colours and forms, the superb colour photographs in this encyclopedia have been taken live and in situ in natural light, making it the most thorough and realistic photographic field guide available. Locations of species give further clues to identity and in the case of rarities these are provided in detail. Each is seen here as it will be found in the wild, in its typical habitat and on its natural substrate. Since no illustration alone can provide firm identification, detailed mycological descriptions, including essential microscopic characteristics, are given to ensure accurate verification of an initial field determination. Each entry further defines a fungus's usual occurrence by season and location, states whether it is edible or poisonous and where relevant indicates its culinary uses." "The Encyclopedia is written in the author's usual informal but authoritative style and includes an introduction to mushroom biology, a guide to the tools and methods of foraging for mushrooms and an explanation of the route by which a specimen should be accurately determined. It also provides keys, a glossary and a full index, making it a superb central reference source or a self-contained and comprehensive guide to the practical study and collection of fungi."--Jacket
