An Index Of The Common Fungi Of North America Synonymy And Common Names

A new and completely rewritten edition of the Provisional Host Index of the Fungi of the United States (covering the period 1888-1891) by the late Professor W. G. Farlow and A. B.

The host families are arranged according to Dalla Torre and Harms' Genera Siphonogamarum ad Systerna Engleriana, 1900-1907, while the specific names are arranged alphabetically. No attempt is made to give the synonymy of hosts. The author has had cooperation of many specialists who have given freely from their exact knowledge in dealing with puzzling problems of synonymy of both fungi and hosts.

Simon & Schuster's Guide to Mushrooms is an indispensable reference for gardeners, hikers, and anyone fascinated by mushrooms and other fungi.
