The history and the classification of the Strophariaceae are described by the Author that also includes molecular phylogenetic studies and morphological characters used for delimitation of taxa.
The volume deals with the species of the genera:
- Stropharia
- Leratiomyces
- Hemistropharia
- Hypholoma
- Deconica
- Psilocybe
- Pholiota
- Flammula
- Hemipholiota
- Kuehneromyces
- Meottomyces

All the species described are accompanied by beautiful micrographs and by color photographs of many European mycologists. In addition there are notes about some doubtful taxa, insufficiently known and therefore usually excluded.
