“A Field Guide to Australian Fungi” is an excellent book for amateurs who are developing an interest in these fascinating organisms. Its beautiful presentation should encourage younger – as well as anybody – to take up their study as it is an excellent layman’s guide. Barry Jahnke, Australian Plants Online, 2005
