A Field Guide to the Fungi of Australia

A Field Guide to the Fungi of Australia

Australia is world-renowned for its often extraordinary and unique natural environment, including many of its plants and animals.

This beautiful little book highlights an often overlooked, but just as remarkable, aspect of our natural world: Australia’s fungi. Many are brightly coloured, some fluorescent; some are elegant, others squat; some are fragrant, more still are highly toxic.

This field guide showcases many of these species in all their splendour. There are descriptions of more than 170 species from all parts of Australia each with a sketch showing key features. Known toxic species are clearly labelled.
