According to mycologist, author, and artist Miguel Ulloa, 'The best way to understand and remember scientific names is to understand their component parts or roots.' This philosophy is the inspiration for Illustrated Generic Names of Fungi: Etymology, Descriptions, Classifications, and References, a unique combination of scientific and artistic content with 1,000-plus original watercolors (by Ulloa himself) and 1,700 genera descriptions. This exquisitely illustrated and up-to-date reference is the first of its kind published in English.
