Ascomycete fungi of North America : a mushroom reference guide / by Beug, Michael W.,1944-(CARDINAL)783999; Bessette, Alan E.(CARDINAL)319398; Bessette, Arleen R.(CARDINAL)332927;

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Introduction : Ascomycota -- The ascomycetes -- Key to included ascomycetes : Using the keys to included ascomycetes ; Picture key to the major types of included ascomycetes -- Hypogeous ascomycetes : The truffles ; Key to the hypogeous ascomycete genera -- Pezizomycetes -- Sordariomycetes -- Leotiomycetes -- Eurotiomycetes -- Geoglossaceae -- Neolectomycetes -- Orbiliomycetes -- Dothideomycetes -- Taphrinomycotina.Filling the gap between technical publications and the limited representation of Ascomycetes in general mushroom field guides, Ascomycete Fungi of North America is a scientifically accurate work dedicated to this significant group of fungi. Because it is impossible to describe and illustrate the tens of thousands of species that occur in North America, the authors focus on species found in the continental United States and Canada that are large enough to be readily noticeable to mycologists, naturalists, photographers, and mushroom hunters. They provide 843 color photographs and more than 600 described species, many of which are illustrated in color for the first time. While emphasizing macroscopic field identification characteristics for a general audience, the authors also include microscopic and other advanced information useful to students and professional mycologists. In addition, a color key to the species described in this book offers a visual guide to assist in the identification process--COVER.
