"The American field mycological renaissance continues space, spearheaded in large part by the authors of this book....A very good glossary and a gratifyingly comprehensive set of references are provided. For anyone with an interest in this genus this book represents essential reading and will serve American mycologists well for years to come." * Field Mycology * "...the lay-out of the book is pleasant, the book is very affordable, the quality of the photos is in general high, and at last it gives insight in the North American Tricholoma flora." * Mycotaxon *
Reseña del editor:
More than 100 mushrooms in the genus Tricholoma have been reported in North America. Most are relatively large, showy mushrooms that grow on the ground near many species of temperate forest trees, both hardwoods and conifers. They typically fruit from late summer through early winter or even into spring in warmer areas. Some are fine edibles, including the matsutake. Others are inedible or even poisonous. Filling the gap between technical publications and the limited representation of Tricholomas in general mushroom field guides, this book is the first comprehensive guide to North American Tricholomas. It contains more than 170 of the best documentary photographs available, often with more than one image of a species to illustrate the dramatic variation exhibited by many Tricholomas. The species descriptions provide extensive identification information including scientific and common names, macroscopic and microscopic features, occurrence/habit, edibility, and a comment section that addresses such things as synonomy, comparisons with similar species, varietial differences, explanations of species' epithets, and other useful or interesting information. In addition, the authors provide a general introduction to Tricholomas that discusses identification features, ecology, simple chemical tests (for identification), and how to use the keys provided in this book.
