A new field guide to California Mushrooms

Dennis is lead author on an all-color field guide that treats over 1,100 species of CA mushrooms, with complete descriptions of 650 species, and over 750 color photographs. It is published by Timber Press in large format (8.5" x 11"), hardcover, about 580 pages. He will present what the field guide is all about, how decisions were made on what to include, and the melding of nomenclature and taxonomy, morphology and phylogeny, and the problems encountered when writing such a tome. He will show plenty of beautiful photographs presenting a sampling of species covered in the book.
