Description:
3rd edition. This genus includes both the common Field Mushroom and the cultivated mushroom, both enormously important as sources of food. But as well as these two species there are a further 40 or more species present in Britain, not all of which are good edibles and some of which are toxic. This book includes 60 species, all of the known British species and a number not yet known to occur in Britain. Provides easy to use synopitic / pictorial keys to the species and includes over 50 photographs illustrating the majority of the British species.
