Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Just what the mycologist ordered - I noted a number of fungi webpages referring to this book. We've recently been out exploring the wonderful world of fungi, to record & photograph, not to forage and eat, no, we v much believe they should be left in nature and for others to enjoy. We want to know who they are cos that can add depth to our wildlife surveying & enjoyment on our walks. How can anyone survey any natural habitat without considering fungi? Unthinkable. So we embark on an exciting mission which has made October a rather magical month. I've already got half a dozen fungi books and got nowhere. Apps are now so very good. AI and geolocational data has revolutionized field recording. The apps are the first step. Every record is then checked and doubled checked with books. This is by far the best and most up-to-date comprehensive book we now have. Unlike birds, where we like drawings, for fungi we've found photos are immensely more helpful. My other books feel obsolete. I bought this for my partner and he loves it. Considering the info in it, it's not too unwieldy to take in the field. We'll test that tomorrow. EDIT: It's great in the field :-) Very happy I bought it. Loving visiting fungi in their weird wonderful world. They are well worth putting your exploring feet on for, getting muddy and going out to meet. Review: An informative book - I purchased this as a gift. But I had a quick look through it and I have to say that the photography was excellent. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 23,231 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 32 in Forestry & Silviculture 85 in Wildlife Gardening 132 in Nature References | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (686) | | Dimensions | 13.34 x 2.54 x 22.23 cm | | ISBN-10 | 0007232241 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0007232246 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | 3 Sept. 2009 | | Publisher | Collins | ## Images ![Collins Complete British Mushrooms and Toadstools: The essential photograph guide to Britain’s fungi - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71v4ErzBDKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what the mycologist ordered *by M***I on 1 November 2024* I noted a number of fungi webpages referring to this book.
