A handbook of the larger British fungi by John Ramsbottom
Presented by Cynthia E. Longfield, 1st October 1946
The handsome illustrations and the fab cover earn this a place, but Ramsbottom's text is engaging and the information is enough to warn you off potentially fatal errors.
I wouldn't rely on this as an ID guide but it has a good text with background info and the illustrations are superb.
Tonight Coronation Street referred its viewers to itv/corrie on the web and a scene where Rosie bares all. I decided to consult my King Penguins instead and in particular A book of roses. Much more intersting and to think it was published 70 years ago. Howe much fun I had tracking down the King Penguins too.
