Strengths:
Clear illustrations with helpful text to aid the novice
Weaknesses:
As a novice to the world of Fungi identification, I find this Guide invaluable.
The photographs are of the usual high quality that one associates with these Collins Nature Guides and the text is sufficiently detailed to help with identification of over 400 species of fungi.
However, as I say I am a novice. I do not feel that this book alone would give me sufficient confidence to differentiate between, say, all the similar Boletus species.
Nevertheless, as an aid to the budding mycologist I would recommend this compact book.
