Fungi of Northern Europe.  Vol. 1.  The Genus Hygrocybe

 

          by David Boertmann.

 

'The genus Hygrocybe' is the first volume in a series of books, including identification keys, detailed descriptions, and color photographs of the Fungi in Northern Europe.  The present volume treats the 59 species and varieties of the genus Hygrocybe—or waxcap—recognized by the author.  ….The waxcaps are important as indicator organisms as they pinpoint unfertilized grasslands with a high biological diversity.  “The main body of the book considers each accepted species in turn, with a full description, ecological data, a discussion on special features and related taxa, a color illustration, and line-drawings of spores.  The distributional data include a dot map for Europe, while the text gives a world flavor.  If this is the first of a projected series then anything else which follows will have to be of an equal or higher standard.  The quality of the color photographs is excellent and the text is clear; the printing is clean and fresh, and thankfully it is in English.”  Roy Watling; 184 pages.  59  Color Illustrations, 6 ¼ x 9 ¼, paperback, Svampetryk.
