"Updated for the first time in decades, this unparalleled reference work is the most comprehensive and authoritative guide to the mushrooms of North America, reflecting the impact of climate change and the advancements in DNA sequencing that have radically altered the classification process-from the creators of the world's most trusted field guides, a go-to source for millions of nature lovers. This volume is the result of a collaboration among leading scientists, scholars, taxonomic and field experts, photo editors, and designers. An indispensable resource, it covers 668 species, with nearly 2,900 full-color photographs, revealing the astounding variety of forms, colors, and conditions in which mushrooms manifest all throughout North America. For ease of use, the book includes a glossary, an index, and a ribbon marker, and is organized according to the latest phylogenetic arrangement from the Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life project. Each species features up to five vibrant photographs, to aid with identification, along with notes on range, season, spore print, look-alikes, conservation status, and more. Introductory essays explain the various parts of a mushroom--both above and below ground--common host trees, nomenclature and taxonomy, mushroom ecology, and the impacts of our changing climate"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Also annoying is the lack of prior taxonomy information. And we all know that mushroom nomenclature changes about every five minutes, so not listing what the mushroom was known as five minutes ago is irritating especially since that term was probably in use for years if not decades. Ugh!
The binding is pretty decent, but I can see pages being torn and bent pretty easily in the future. There is a single satin ribbon which is also crazy given that you can't see look-alikes all together (like the Peterson guide, hint, hint) and that you'd need a whole bunch of bookmarks to see that kind of thing. Ditto for any suspects you may have since those aren't grouped in any logical way either. It needs a dozen cute little satin markers, not one.
Oh and there is a section for How to Use this Book and it contains nothing except some information about some conservation status icons that are used about 10 times in the whole 700+ pages. WTF? There is not a single useful identifications system at all. Not the usual if this then that type or the more innovative scheme the Peterson guide uses. Insane. It's really only good for the pretty pictures and the species information so my advice is to use this to confirm what you've already IDed using other sources. The editor signs off on the How to Use this Book page with good luck and godspeed. Yeah, you're gonna need it. ( )
