The second and third issue of this series give elaborate descriptions of the morphology, anatomy of the mantle, colour reactions with different reagents, auto-fluorescences, a list of reference specimens, discussions and references for 34 species of macrofungi, including Tricholoma scalpturatum, Lyophyllum descastes, Gasteromycetes ( Geastrum fimbriatum, Balsamia alba, Genea verrucosa, Hysterangium stologniferum, Leucangium carthusianum), Aphyllophorales ( Gomphus clavatis; Bankera fuligineoalba), and several unidentified mycorrhizae. This documentation is unique in its kind, and not only a very valuable tool for all those dealing with mycorrhizae, but it also presents new data on ecology of several mushrooms.
