This new addition to New Holland's very popular pocket "Photographic Guide" series introduces readers to New Zealand's mushrooms and fungi, which number up to some 19,000 species and include extraordinarily diverse types, from the familiar 'mushroom' to brackets, coral and cup fungi and slime moulds. Over a hundred species are presented here, with spectacular close-up colour photographs accompanying each entry. The ideal size for slipping into a backpack when walking through bush and forest, it will appeal to walkers, nature lovers, tour guides and educators, and fungi photographers wishing to identify their subjects.

We found this book very informative, and it is a good size to fit in your pack, when out walking, but because of this the print is quite small, so is difficult to read for us who have a few grey hairs. It would have been more beneficial if it had included whether the mushrooms illustrated were edible or not. This was the reason I purchased this book and unfortunately it didn't meet that requirement. A good reference book to have on the shelf though.
