Collins Complete Guide to British Mushrooms and Toadstools

An excellent guide that allows anyone to identify mushrooms found in Britain and Ireland. Collins Complete Guide to British Mushrooms and Toadstools is Illustrated with beautiful photographs throughout, featuring the species you are most likely to see. By only covering Britain and Ireland, fewer species are included than in many broader European guides, making it quicker and easier for the reader to accurately identify what they have found. Extensive details on size, shape and colour are given and over 1,500 photographs help you identify each species.Despite some inevitable limitations in coverage and detail, the book maintains its place as a useful guide for beginners. A suitable size for carrying in the field, it bridges the gap between less portable but more comprehensive reference books and smaller pocket guides that cover a more limited number of species.
