Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book is primarily a photo tour through the diverse mushrooms on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The pictures are meant to illustrate the differences among these primitive, little-understood, silent, mostly hidden and ephemeral life forms that are found in most of the Eastern Shore's habitats. The book includes some brief notes on the important roles that mushrooms play in the natural ecosystem. It is a picture book that unearths a slice of seldom noticed natural beauty. It is a photo journey among the colorful and delightful diversity of fungi that we find in our back yards on the Eastern Shore. It covers over one hundred of the common species that people are likely to find on the Eastern Shore but does not claim to be a complete guide. More mushrooms will be added in future editions.
