Neither plant nor animal, mushrooms constitute a unique group of
organisms.
They appear in such diverse shapes, sizes and colours that identifying
them can be di cult; and, for foragers, distinguishing between edible
and poisonous varieties can be risky.
Featuring more than 200 fungi commonly found in South Africa, this
engaging guide is organised according to the main family groups,
enabling more accurate identi cation in the eld. Individual
descriptions detail the characteristic features of each species, as
well as their distribution, habitat, size, edibility and toxicity. A
comprehensive introduction explains the basic biology of fungi, their
role in the ecosystem and their use for humans.
Additional features include an illustrated key to the dominant
characters of form, shape and surface, and useful tips for mushroom
hunters.
Lavishly illustrated with more than 850 colour photographs, this is
both a practical guide and a beautiful book that will inspire nature
lovers, foragers, epicureans and anyone curious about these
extraordinary members of our natural world.
