The Fungi Spotter's Guide

Omtale

Discover Britain’s colourful, wonderful fungi. Once you start looking for fungi, a walk in the woods or even the local park will never be the same. Somewhere near you there are spectacular and strange species such as Yellow Brain Fungus, Chicken of the Woods, Amethyst Deceiver and Witches’ Butter. You can find fungi that look like birds’ nests, antlers, stars, fingers and ears. This unique guide has 40 key species to spot over the year – all with distinctive features that make them easy to identify, even for the beginner. Beautiful illustrations are accompanied by absorbing and entertaining text by two of Britain’s leading experts. Did you know that we have a fungus that glows in the dark? And one that smells like watermelon? That some of our fungi eat other fungi, and there’s even one that eat insects? Happy spotting!
