HOT NEWS! AT LAST, AFTER 25YEARS ROGER PHILLIPS’ BOOK HAS BEEN UPDATED AND EXPANDED AND WILL BE IN BOOKSHOPS IN AUGUST
Now, at last, the book has had a complete reworking with the addition of some 350 new species and all the species names have been brought in line with the recently published Checklist of British and Irish Basidiomycota. I have seen some early proofs and can report the following: the addition of many habitus shots has also enlivened the book and a number of the original photographs have been replaced with newer, higher quality shots.The quality of printing has improved also in 25 years with more accurate colours and the book has been re-modelled to a shorter and broader format so will fit your foraying basket or backpack a little easier! For anyone who bought the original book this new version will still be an essential purchase, a chance to get a comprehensive guide completely in line with modern nomenclature. Geoffrey Kibby It is 25 years since Roger Phillips published his ground-breaking work Mushrooms. It was the first book of its kind to display mushrooms in the now familiar studio-lit method and was also one of the most comprehensive of its kind with over 900 species illustrated. It became an instant success and went on to become the world’s highest selling mushroom identification guide.
