This title makes an amazing gift for any fungi lover. Beautifuly displayed mushroom photos will capture any readers attention. Great coffee table book!

From inside back cover:

"This gorgeous and unique addition to the literature on fungi could well be the book that brings mushrooms into the mainstream of nature appreciation. A feast for the eyes and mind, more than 270 spectacular color photos portray a wonderous array of mushrooms and other fungi from six continents. Lockwood, already known internationally for presenting his multi-media shows of colorful and fantastic fungi under the same title, has created a book that elevates mushroom photography to an art form. The uniquely assorted fungi, both beautiful and bizarre "beyond words", vie for the viewers' eyes." --Bob Lorentzen, author of The Hiker's hip pocket Guides
