Book Review

Fungi Down Under, the Fungimap Guide to Australian Fungi

Pat Grey & Ed Grey, 2021. Fungimap Inc.

Fungi Down Under can be said to break new ground in its field in several ways.
As a field guide, it had its genesis in a project called Fungimap, in which more than 300 fungi enthusiasts across Australia have contributed many thousands of observations of 100 ‘target’ species, selected as a representation of a wide range of fungi types.
With a clear, easy-to-use, page-per-species format, the descriptions are comprehensive and consistent in style, and enable immediate comparison with the sometimes very similar ‘look-alikes’. And because some species can be very variable, most are illustrated by at least two photographs showing different forms, with the important features annotated. Information is also given on the typical habitat conditions of each species.
Fungi Down Under will be an essential field companion for beginners and experts alike.
