Fungi of southern Australia By Neale L. Bougher and Katrina Syme ISBN 1875560807, published in 1998 by University of Western Australia Press, colour, hard cover, 391 pages OUT OF PRINT

This book is the fruit of a partnership between a leading mycologist and one of Australia's best botanical artists. One hundred and twenty five species of fungi are superbly illustrated in colour, in their natural surroundings, complemented by a detailed text and scientific line drawings. Comprehensive chapters describe what they are, where to find them, how to collect and study them, and how to identify them. A special feature is a glossary cross-referenced to illustrations in the text, adding to the book's utility for scientist's, naturalists, teachers, artists and others.
