The sixth title in the bestselling Collins Guide series, this book
covers the fungi of the British Isles, with considerable relevance
for Europe and the wider temperate world. Leading mycological
artists have been specially commissioned to ensure accurate,
detailed illustrations. Where possible, species are described and
illustrated on the same page, with up-to-date authoritative text
aiding identification. Nearly 2,400 species are illustrated in full
colour, with detailed notes on how to correctly identify them,
including details of similar, confusing species. Illustrations of
young and mature fruiting bodies are included where necessary, and
key features are highlighted for quick and easy reference. Written
by one of Europe's leading mycologists and horticultural
scientists, Stefan Buczacki, and illustrated by two of the world's
leading natural history illustrators, Chris Shields and Denys
Ovenden, this is the ultimate field guide for mushroom and
toadstool lovers.
This revised and updated edition of Majerus & Kearns (1989)
Ladybirds provides a succinct but comprehensive and accessible
overview of the biology of ladybirds and their parasites, focusing
on ecology in an evolutionary context. It provides the latest
information, coverage of recent additions to the British list
including the harlequin ladybird, and makes suggestions for further
research, both short and long term, highlighting gaps in knowledge
and showing readers how to get involved with recording and studying
ladybirds. It includes updated keys for the identification of
ladybirds at late-instar larval and adult stages, and techniques
for studying ladybirds and their parasites in both laboratory and
field. The authors hope that this book will be a valuable resource,
not only for students, from school to university and beyond, but
also for anyone with an interest in natural history, whether
professional or recreational.
