Review (by Malcolm Storey) | The Corticiaceae of Northern Europe comprises 8 consecutively paginated volumes totalling 1631 pages. The introductory volume reviews the terminology, ecology, etc and gives advice on collecting, examination and storage.

Examine | Compound Microscope ( with a Microscope using 100x oil-immersion is also useful) |
