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. |
