The book is a culmination of many decades of field work and study and is the most comprehensive photographic field guide on Australian fungi yet published.
All fungi photographed are in their natural environment -many for the first time with information on fungal biology, ecology, classification, distribution, roles of fungi in nature, and spore prints.
Descriptions cover size, range, shape, habitat information as well as spore print colour, spore descriptions and a pictorial guide to groups.
