A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present book is an outgrowth of a translation of the keys in the original eight volumes of Saccardo s Sylloge Fungorum. This translation was mimeographed and bound for the use of classes in mycology. It immediately proved so convenient and usable that the preparation of a complete guide to the fungi was begun the same year. Many things have occurred during the past two years to delay the completion of the guide until this time. In its present form, the book is based upon Saccardo sgreat work, though in certain groups other authors have been followed, and in some cases, the discomycetes and lichens, the treatment amounts almost to a revision. The arrangement of the orders and families is different in a large measure, and in the distribution of the lichens is original. No attempt has been made to revise the genera, except where the treatment had lagged behind current practice, as is particularly true of the lichens. In some cases, genera have been included in others, but this is done only for the sake of the beginner, when the descriptions reveal no differences, and is by no means intended as a revision. Questions of nomenclature have necessarily been left largely to one side, but no hesitation has been felt in making certain corrections. These have dealt mostly with mistaken or neglected transliteration, and with faulty composition. A considerable number of sesquipedalian words have been shortened, and the greater number of hybrid names have been corrected. These corrections have been made in such a way as to retain as much of the original name as possible. Corrections are indicated by the sign fwith the original form in parenthesis below. New genera are designated by an asterisk, and are listed with their types on a later page. The genera described in volumes 9-18 of the Sylloge have been included in the proper family keys.
