Reader's note

This wonderful vintage King Penguin book, really catches the eye with an extremely striking cover! As well as the specimens themselves, we also learn a bit about the unique relationship that people have with fungi - Doubtless so soon as man learned by experience that fungi could serve as food, he found that some were poisonous...There are repeated references to poisoning in classical writings, and this may give the impression that fungi were regarded as something of a forbidden fruit. - we're rather lucky these days that we don't find the poisonous ones in the supermarket! Find out more about nature and the fungi that goes overlooked in the woods. Add this brilliant title to your home reference library today.
