British Basidiomycetae - Carleton Rea - Bog

Originally published in 1922, this book describes the fungi native to Great Britain that reproduce through the dispersal of basidiospores from specialised end cells. Rea catalogues the colour, appearance, taste, typical growth season and rarity of over 2500 basidiomycetae with an eye for detail that ensured that this book became the standard reference text for years after its publication.
