Review (by Malcolm Storey)

A translation of a Danish work (Illustratet Svampeflora by Jacob E. Lange [father] and Morton Lange [son]) which was itself compiled using the excellent colour paintings prepared for Flora Agaricina Danica by Jacob E. Lange, although it is a far smaller work.

The paintings are water-colours and you have to accustom your eye to the pastel colurs.

An important field guide in its day, it’s now mainly of historical interest.

Examine in the Hand ( with x8 or x10 hand lens is also useful)
