This book is part of the 4-volumes collection of Atlas of Chinese
Macrofungal Resources. This atlas documented 1819 species (or
varieties) in 509 genera of macrofungi known from China, which are,
according to their morphological characteristics, practically divided
into 10 groups, including 196 larger ascomycetes, 21 jelly fungi, 47
coral fungi, 637 polyporoid, hydnaceous and lephoroid fungi, 11
cantharelloid fungi, 653 agarics, 130 boletes, 75 gasteroid fungi, 16
larger pathogenic fungi on crops, and 33 larger myxomycetes. All
species are evidenced with vouchers and photographs. About 370 of the
listed species (occupying 1/5 of the total species) have their type
localities in China, among which over 260 species (accounting for 1/7
of the species) were firstly discovered and published by the present
authors. Some of the species are endemic to China and East Asia.
Descriptions of all species are accompanied with color photographs
showing their macro-morphology and (or) habitat. The macroscopic and
microscopic diagnostic characters, ecological habits, economic
importance (edibility, medicinal availability or toxicity) and
geographical distribution in China of all species are described in
brief and easy-to-understand style. In the guide, the characteristics
and using method of the book, related mycological vocabulary, common
taxonomic techniques and positions of the fungal genera in modern
taxonomic system are briefly introduced. The knowledge of this book
should be interesting to mycologists, mycology fans and mushroom
lovers, as well as researchers, teachers and students studying on
edible fungi, plant pathology, healthcare and biomedicine sciences,
bioresources and biodiversity, ecology and other related disciplines.
It is an ideal reference for those who are interested in the Chinese
macrofungi and larger slime molds. In this second volume, it covers
Polyporoid, Hydnaceous and Thelephoroid Fungi.
