BioImages: The Virtual Field-Guide (UK)

Largent, D., Johnson, D. Watling, R., 1977

Microscopic Features

Although an American book, the content is equally relevant to mycologists in the UK.

Initial chapters describe laboratory technique and the recipes for chemical reagents. These are followed by detailed accounts of the microscopy of the various parts of the agaric: Hyphae, Pellis, Trama, Cystidia, Basidia and Basidospores.

The work ends with an extensive glossary/index.
