Summary
"North American Boletes is the first comprehensive guide to an extraordinary and highly prized group of mushrooms known for their beautiful colors, distinctive features, relative abundance, and edibility." "The scope of this work goes beyond the identification of species. The authors consider the symbiotic relationship boletes share with higher plants and trees, their geographical distribution, new information regarding the macrochemical test reactions of the boletes, and also describe several new species." "The book's combination of aesthetically appealing and scientifically accurate color photographs coupled with extensive descriptions makes it a standard reference work for bolete identification in North America."--Jacket.
