Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Keys to families, subfamilies, multi-access keys using various groups of characters. The species accounts are then embedded in classical dichotomous family keys, with drawings of microscopy etc. Text in French. |
Errata, Corrigenda & Comments | The colour plates were re-issued with much better printing. |
News | Subsequent DNA work on Leccinum has shown the majority of new species introduced by Lannoy & Estades to be merely habitat-induced variations. |
Examine | in the Hand ( Compound Microscope is also useful) |
