Collins Complete British Mushrooms and Toadstools: The Essential Photograph Guide to Britain's Fungi (Collins Complete Guides) [Paperback]

Paul Sterry (Author)

Book Description

Series: Collins Complete Guides | Publication Date: November 1, 2009

Allows anyone to identify mushrooms found in Britain and Ireland, this book is illustrated with beautiful photographs throughout, featuring the species you are most likely to see. By only covering Britain and Ireland, fewer species are included than in many broader European guides, making it quicker and easier for the reader to accurately identify what they have found. Extensive details on size, shape, and color are given and more than 1,500 photographs help you identify each species. This is the essential photographic guide to the mushrooms and toadstools of Britain and Ireland.
