CORTICIACEAE S. L. - FUNGI EUROPAEI 12 427 ccolour photos and 455 drawings of microscopical elements with the collaboration of Luigi ARRASfor some keys.

This work includes almost all european species and genera, with splendid photographs made by some specialists of the subject and completed with a plate of micrographs made by one of the Authors (S.P. Gorjón). By the recent studies of molecolar biology, the Authors have apprehended that they could include (in this work) also different genera like Auriscalpium, Hericium, Cotylidia, Sistotrema, Stereum, etc. This volume is completed by a paragraph on ecology of the Corticiaceae and an extensive glossary in B / W to make this easy to read even for those who until now did not know this fascinating world.

In questa opera vengono trattate quasi tutte le specie e i generi europei, con splendidi fotocolor eseguiti da diversi specialisti della materia e corredati da una tavola completa di uno degli Autori (S.P. Gorjón), raffigurante i caratteri microscopici. I recenti studi di biologia molecolare hanno suggerito agli autori di collocare in questo volume generi apparentemente lontani dall'idea che abbiamo delle Corticiacee quali Auriscalpium, Hericium, Cotylidia, Sistotrema, Stereum, ecc. Completano l'opera un paragrafo sull'ecologia delle Corticiaceae e un ricco glossario con illustrazioni in B/N per rendere quest'opera di facile consultazione anche per coloro che sino ad oggi non conoscevano questo affascinante mondo.
