“Every serious student of mycology…ought to obtain these fascinating, inexpensive volumes. Buy it, get your library to buy it, get your students to buy it, and put aside a week or so to sit down and read it cover to cover. Kananaskis II was a milestone.”
– Mycologia
The Whole Fungus (2-Volume Set)
$20
Vols 1 & 2 (1979): 793 pp. Includes an extensive compilation of anamorph-holomorph connections in Ascomycetes (vol 1) and Basidiomycetes (vol 2). “A mycological classic.”
Perhaps by posing a few questions I can give you some idea of what you may expect to find as you browse through the twenty-seven chapters in the two volumes of The Whole Fungus:
- Do you know what anamorphs, teleomorphs and holomorphs are? These terms are central to the theme of the books, and are defined in Chapter 3.
- Do you know how long the phenomenon of pleomorphism has exercised the minds of mycologists; and how ancient it is? These questions are answered in Chapters 2 and 26, respectively.
