| Errata, Corrigenda & Comments | The colour plates were re-issued with much better printing. |
| News | Subsequent DNA work on Leccinum has shown the majority of new species introduced by Lannoy & Estades to be merely habitat-induced variations. |
| Examine | in the Hand ( Compound Microscope is also useful) |
| Specimen Preparation | Cut flesh for colour changes. Microscopy needed in some sections, esp Xerocomus and Leccinum. |
| Identification difficulty | Xerocomus and Leccinum, in the modern sense, require careful examination. |
