About This Book

The work is a systematic taxonomic flora of European Agaricaceae that presents concise diagnoses and keys organized primarily by spore-colour sections (white, green, pink, ochraceous, dark), then by morphological groups of gill and pileus structure. It defines genera and sections, analyses genera, and supplies short species descriptions emphasizing essential constant characters of pileus, gills, stem and spores rather than local variants. The preface explains method and scope, and the volume also provides abbreviations, a bibliography, addenda, and corrections to aid identification across a broad European range, including extensive coverage of species recorded from Britain.
