GREAT source for the Mycologist or student faced with the difficult task of correctly ID'ing fungi. All fungi are in alphabetical order by Genus and have illustrated color pictures of the structures and various clinical tests that will verify your ID. MUCH better than many other texts reccomended for the same purpose.

This book not only helps the user to identify a large number species of fungus by presenting sample photos, but it describes methodologies for doing the tests too!

A good investment!

This book is one of the best reference for fungi. The only thing is that it is useful for people verse in mycology and may not be the best book to start learning mycology as it does not provide a clear classification system for beginners who want to learn a systematic approach to fungi. Fungi are presented in alphabetical order so you have to know what you are looking for. The other downside is that there is no information on yeast (mold only), so you have to buy another book for that. Nevertheless, this is one of the best reference book on mold fungi and i definitely recommend any microbiologist or lab tech to purchase this. It is not easy to get!
