Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into Christian Dan. Schäeffer's extensive 1774 study of mushrooms. While relatively few of the hundreds of fungi it describes are found outside of Central Europe, its insights remain valuable to scholars and modern-day mycologists who seek to classify, understand, and identify mushrooms. Schäeffer based his work on firsthand observation and study of each mushroom, an approach that yielded hundreds of highly detailed illustrations. This book pays homage to his undertaking, bringing together the original text with its beautiful full-page engravings. Those interested in the history of mycology, the relationships between species, or the identification and classification of fungi will find this a fascinating and important compendium.
