About this book

Thirty native mushroom species form the core of W. Hamilton Gibson's guide of 1895, chosen because they are easy to recognise, with simple rules for telling the dangerous kinds apart. After an introduction come chapters on the Deadly Amanita, the gill fungi, the Polyporei and a mixed group that includes morels and puff-balls. Later sections cover spore-prints and recipes. Gibson illustrated it himself, with thirty coloured plates and fifty-seven other pictures, and the introduction notes a botanist's fear that a popular book might breed over-confidence.
