Colourful, mysterious and fantastically shaped, the kingdom of fungi is made up of an estimated 1.5 million species, found in every habitat type worldwide. The Book of Fungi takes 600 of the most remarkable known fungi and reproduces each at its actual size, in full colour, and accompanied by a scientific explanation of its distribution, habitat, association, abundance, growth form, spore colour and edibility.
Life-size photography creates an explosion of colour, shapes and forms, and is supplemented by illustrations and a modern, scholarly text.
