Correct identification of fungi genera and species requires careful analysis of their appearance and structure. This encyclopedia features superb colour photographs taken live in natural light, showcasing fruiting bodies in their true colours and forms, making it an exceptional photographic field guide. Detailed locations of species aid in identification, especially for rarities. Each fungus is depicted in its typical habitat and on its natural substrate. Since illustrations alone cannot guarantee identification, the book includes detailed mycological descriptions with essential microscopic characteristics for accurate verification. Each entry specifies the fungus's usual occurrence by season and location, indicates whether it is edible or poisonous, and notes culinary uses when relevant. Written in an informal yet authoritative style, the encyclopedia includes an introduction to mushroom biology, a guide to foraging tools and methods, and a process for accurate specimen determination. It also features keys, a glossary, and a full index, making it an excellent reference source or a comprehensive guide for the practical study and collection of fungi.
