Reviewers say: “Superb!” “Magnificent!” “Deserves a string of superlatives.” “A new mycological classic.”
“This book seems destined to become a mycological classic…complete descriptions and detailed illustrations of 423 species (40 new) in 142 genera (10 new)…The quality of the line drawings elevates the treatment…into the realm…occupied by the Tulasnes…This book is more than the sum of its parts. The depth of coverage bespeaks a passion and a patience that is rare among contemporary taxonomists. In the tradition of true scholarship, the book captures the substance of one man’s life work for the benefit of future generations…Dr. Nag Raj has reminded us what taxonomy is supposed to be.” Sydowia
“By any standards it is a remarkable book…It will remain the standard for the foreseeable future.” Mycological Research
