About this book
A mushroom's surroundings help guide identification in Roy Watling's handbook on the larger fungi of Great Britain. Written for sixth form and early university students, the book connects the naming of specimens with the study of their habitats. Its arrangement moves from agarics to other groups, then to specialised environments, with keys and habitat tables helping readers organise their finds.
The species accounts show how close observation supports this approach. Bracket fungi are described through cap shape, pore colour, flesh, spores and the trees on which they grow. The tinder fungus appears with details of its occurrence on birch and beech and its earlier practical uses. A glossary explains technical terms. Students and interested amateurs will find a guide to examining fungi and recording the conditions around them, with attention to both visible features and microscopic structures.
