This is a photographic guide to 1,000 of the most important species of fungi of the British Isles and northern Europe. Each specimen is shown in a large colour photograph living on its natural substrate, in its most typical habitat, and in natural light to show its true colours. Accompanying text provides details of form, including microscopic structure, and edibility and culinary value.
