Fungi Down Under: The Fungimap Guide to Australian Fungi

This book is easy to use with comprehensive identification characters, as well as detailed distribution maps.  Identifying fungi can be extremely difficult so this publication starts with 100 species that:

• are reasonably easy to identify in the field
• are relatively widespread
• have enough recorded observations to allow a general picture of distribution
• cover a range of fungal groups

It has a clear, easy-to-use, page-per-species format, the descriptions are comprehensive and there are two or more photos of each species showing different forms and features. It has:

• an introductory section giving important background information on fungi and their classification, with techniques for observing and identifying fungi
• detailed, illustrated descriptions of the hundred ‘target’ species and information on more than fifty similar species which may be encountered
