What’s more, in South Africa alone there are estimated to be more than 171 500 species. Pocket Guide: Mushrooms of South Africa features a selection of the species more commonly found in the region. Detailed descriptions and colour photographs will enable enthusiasts to identify these mushrooms in the field. Edibility (or otherwise) is given, as well as poison warnings where relevant. Easy to use and in compact format, this pocket guide will appeal to both the academic and popular sectors; and it will prove invaluable on outings into the countryside, particularly among the growing number of collectors of edible mushrooms.

The fifth order of the natural kingdom is made up of an estimated 1.5 million species of fungi, found in every habitat type worldwide. The Book of Fungi takes 600 of the most remarkable fleshy fungi from around the world 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. Location maps give at-a-glance indications of each species known global distribution, and specially commissioned engravings show different fruitbody forms and provide the vital statistics of height and diameter. Theres a place, too, for readers to discover the more bizarre habits of fungi from the predator that hunts its prey with lassos to the one that entices sows by releasing the pheromones of a wild boar. Mushrooms, morels, puffballs, toadstools, truffles, chanterelles fungi from habitats spanning the poles and the tropics, from the highest mountains to our own gardens are all on display in this definitive work.
