There are not many New Zealand field guides to mushrooms,this book holds the biggest collection of New Zealand mushrooms in one book. My main complaint about it is the lack of good colour photos, there are a few but not many and their quality is not that great. However, all the mushrooms featured in this book are illustrated and the best thing about it is that there are also illustrations of cross sections, spores and more microscopic features for the more experienced or serious mushroom hunter. The descriptions are great, to a large extent they make up for the lack of photos, I have identified mushrooms using this book that to this day I have not seen in any other field guide!! No mushroom field guide is perfect, this one is not but when used in combination with other guides it becomes a vital memebr of the group.Also great for getting additional information on mushrooms identified using other guides.
