The outer spores

"Here is the front cover of our new book exploring the fungi of Haida Gwaii (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands), home of the Haida people, and with a rich and unique biota.

We collected at many locations on many of the 150 islands of the archipelago over a period of five years, and recorded over 600 fungi including many rare and possibly undescribed taxa. This beautiful book is the summation of our efforts, and incorporates a huge amount of data, including many distribution maps, almost 300 illustrations, most in sparkling colour, and sections on many groups of particular interest, such as edible, poisonous, hallucinogenic, and a variety of ecological and nutritional groups, as well as graphs tracking our accumulation of species and a complete listing of taxa recorded."--Pub. desc.
