A richly illustrated account, documenting 92 species and infra-specific taxa of the four Australian genera.

The family Hygrophoraceae (Agaricales) includes some of the most beautiful examples of gilled fungi. Many species are brilliantly coloured and their shapes are exquisitely symmetrical. For this reason, species are frequently noticed in the field. This authoritative account, richly illustrated with colour photographs and line drawings, documents 92 species and infra-specific taxa of the four Australian genera: Hygrophorus, Camarophyllopsis, Humidicutis and Hygrocybe. A detailed introduction to the family is followed by identification keys to genera and species, along with comprehensive descriptions of each taxon.

Dr Tony Young's career spans state education departments and the Royal Australian Navy. His interest in macrofungi led to the completion of a doctorate in macrofungal taxonomy at the University of Queensland in 1996. He is a consultant to the Queensland Poisons Centre, a Fellow of the Queensland Herbarium, and author of A Field Guide to the Fungi of Australia.
