Best guide of them all.
Borrowed all the guides from my local library.
This was the best one. Comprehensive scientific information well organised excellent colour photographs which many others only had a few in one section with the rest being black and white drawings.
Highly recommend this guide for all budding mycologists ( see what I did there ? )
