Portions of this book are comprehensible to informed lay readers, but professional botanists and serious amateur collectors are the main audience. Its keys to identifying poisonous fungi are organized in written flowchart style and cover observations that can be made with the eye, microscope, and chemical reagents. Opening chapters group fungi taxonomically, discussing the field's specialized vocabulary and questions of classification. Latter chapters group poisonous fungi according to their toxins, explaining chemical action and usual medical treatment. Color photos and line drawings of the species follow these identification keys. Bibliographies appear throughout the book, which has an exhaustive glossary and index. Appropriate for academic, medical, and large public libraries. Laurie Tynan, Huntingdon Cty. Lib., Pa.
