Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an illustrated guide to 150 species of fungi native to the British Isles, most of which exist in or near human habitations. The author, a celebrated botanist and mycologist, wrote this book as supplemental reading to other field guides that mostly focus on edible or poisonous fungi. This guidebook aids in the identification of these lesser-known fungi, including their characteristics, habitat, and the time of year they appear. The text presents microscopic details of the fungi's anatomy, enabling the reader to differentiate each species. The book also discusses the broader scientific context of fungi, provides insight into their relationship with other organisms, and explains their role in the ecosystem. Additionally, the author proposes a new genus, Cribraria, based on the structure of their seed capsules. Overall, this book deepens the reader's understanding and appreciation of the often-overlooked but fascinating world of fungi.
