...a superb example of the informative synergy that can be achieved when words and illustrations are combined. Reasonably priced at $99, this dictionary should find a home in the offices, laboratories or departmental/university libraries wherever advanced mycology courses/research exist.”-- Journal of Phytopathology

It features abundant illustrations or photographs inserted near appropriate terms. Each entry is accompanied by a reference to one or more fungi species related to the particular term. A taxonomic outline of the taxa is provided to help those unfamiliar with the grouping of any particular genus. This substantial volume also includes several broader biological terms encountered in mycological literature.
