The mysterious appearance of fungus fruits bodies – mushrooms and toadstools – each Autumn is one of nature’s most fascinating seasonal events. Fungi come in an amazing diversity of form and colour. Many are beautiful, some bizarre and curious, some quite revolting. Most of them disappear as mysteriously as they came, to await suitable conditions for their next fruiting.
One of the vital functions of fungi in nature is the continuous recycling of forest debris into soil nutrients; paradoxically, they can be benevolent partners or parasites to plants.
A Field guide to Fungi aims to stimulate and share knowledge and interest in fungi and to assist mycologists, biologists, naturalists and all interested in the environment.
- More than 500 fungus species described, including slime and mould
- 548 superb colour photographs illustrating many fungi for the first time
- All fungi photographed in their natural environment
- Information on fungal biology and ecology and more
- Illustrated guide to main groups
- Sample of notes recording fungus data collected in the field
