This new addition to New Holland's very popular pocket "Photographic Guide" series introduces readers to New Zealand's mushrooms and fungi, which number up to some 19,000 species and include extraordinarily diverse types, from the familiar 'mushroom' to brackets, coral and cup fungi and slime moulds. Over a hundred species are presented here, with spectacular close-up colour photographs accompanying each entry. The ideal size for slipping into a backpack when walking through bush and forest, it will appeal to walkers, nature lovers, tour guides and educators, and fungi photographers wishing to identify their subjects.
