Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the vast collection of fungi amassed by esteemed physician and mycologist Howard A. Kelly at the turn of the 20th century. It includes entries on over seven thousand distinct species along with a substantial collection of exsiccati (dried plant specimens). The book is divided into three primary sections. Alphabetical listings summarize each species, detailing discovery, collection, and publication data as well as a wealth of annotations by the author illustrating his personal experiences with various fungi. Periodical and ephemera are indexed and include scientific articles, obituaries, and other miscellaneous entries. The volume concludes with a detailed subject index facilitating further research. The author's pioneering spirit, combined with his diverse interests in botany, medicine, and photography, contribute to the book's unique historical significance. The collection remains a valuable resource for mycologists today and is especially rich in species native to the Americas.
