by
Bruce Alexander Fuhrer
his book aims to encourage interest in the study of fungi and to assist in the identification of fruit bodies. Many of the species illustrated are widely dispersed in Australia and some also occur overseas. The increasing use of wood chips as garden mulch has led to the appearance of many interesting fungi in suburban gardens and parks. Some species are associated with particular habitat types or plant associations and several exotic species have spread because of their association with particular trees.
