Good only, but a serviceable reference copy. FIRST EDITION. A significant study of a group of fungi including puffballs, stinkhorns, birds' nest fungi, and false truffles, describing over 150 species in great detail. A concise artificial key is provided. William Chambers Coker (1872-1953) was a widely esteemed authority on mycology and, like his co-author, John N. Couch, a professor of botany at the University of North Carolina. "This is a comprehensive treatment of Gasteromycetes . . . The plates include reproductions of photographs, photomicrographs, and drawings, and they illustrate both habit and microscopic details of the great majority of the species discussed." --"Books from Chapel Hill," p. 48.
