About this title

Synopsis

The fourth title in the bestselling Collins Guide series, this book covers every macro species of mushroom and toadstool found in Europe?from the North Cape to the heel of Italy. Every species is illustrated in color directly opposite the species description, with visuals of young and mature fruiting bodies where necessary. Nearly 2,400 species are depicted along with detailed notes on how to correctly identify them, including details of similar, confusing species to further ensure correct identification. Penned by one of Europe's leading mycologists and illustrated by one of the world's leading natural history illustrators, this is the ultimate fungi guide for both amateur and experienced mycologists alike.
