Illustrations of Fungi which Grow in Bavaria and the Palatinate around Ratisbon

Persoon’s revised edition fixes these errors, acting as a bridge between early artistic observation and modern botanical classification. Readers will discover how early naturalists sorted the edible from the poisonous in the German forests.
