Dear Mycologist colleagues and friends,
Our Ascomycete.org team has prepared an English version of a guide for all mycologists.
After the large success of the French version in 2023, we’ve been asked many times for an English version. It will be released next month. We do thank our late friend Chris Yeates and Caroline Hobbart from the British Mycological Society for their most valuable help in the translation!
This richly illustrated manual is aimed at beginners and more experienced mycologists alike, covering all levels of study of the ascomycetes known as “Extracts“, mainly the Helotiales, Pezizales and Orbiliales. (From Helvella to Lachnum, from Peziza to Ciboria, Mollisia, Hymenoscyphus, Scutellinia and so on).
Where and how to collect them, what to look out for, what literature to consult? The explanations, advice, photos and drawings will help you to approach and describe these fascinating mushrooms, which are often neglected because of a lack of a complete and practical method available to date.
As a non profit organization entirely dedicated to the knowlege of Ascomycetes, the editor Ascomycete.org will release the book in February 2024 at a very modest price. See our multilingual web site : https://ascomycete.org/
