Review (by Malcolm Storey)

A nicely produced colour atlas of 700 species of non-lichenised ascomycetes, featuring members of most saprobic and plant-parasitic groups.

Each species has a macrophotograph illustrating the habitus, a short species account and drawings of microscopic features - usually a spore and an excipital hair.

Keys to the included species appear at the beginning.

Further pages are issued by the author from time to time; sign up from the web site..
