Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Still a useful book, although now somewhat dated.

Covers the same fungi as Nordic Macromycetes vol 3, ie all the basidiomycete macrofungi that don’t have gills: jelly fungi, gasteromycetes, polpores, whitewash fungi, chanterelles, tooth fungi, spindles, clubs, corals and boletes.
