About
A compact and practical pocket-book, A Handbook of Fungi introduces readers to the diverse fungal species found across Britain's woodlands, heaths, and meadows.
Drawing on his years of fieldwork and botanical observation, E. M. Holmes offers a concise guide to fungal morphology, classification, and habitat. Published at the end of the nineteenth century, this volume expresses a deep appreciation for fungi as an essential part of Britain's ecosystems. Designed for students, amateur botanists, and surveyors in the field, it remains a valuable resource for those documenting or studying native fungal biodiversity.
This small field guide is taken from the first part of Holmes' seminal British Fungi, Lichens and Mosses (1886), and is ideal as both a reference tool and an entry point into mycology.

"Interesting examples of the comparatively technical knowledge which those who have no experience in teaching provide for the use of beginners. Illustrated with a number of useful woodcuts [and] full of information."
