Böcker av Steven L. Stephenson

The myxomycetes, or slime molds, are among the most fascinating organisms in the world. This book identifies all the species one is likely to encounter, with information on their structural features, distribution, and ecological associations. It is an introduction to their biology as well as a field guide.

This volume is devoted exclusively to the macrofungi that occur in association with oak trees in the forests of eastern North America. More than 200 species of macrofungi are described and illustrated with vibrantly coloured photographs. Information is given on edibility, medicinal properties, and other novel uses as well.
