Cortinari Calabri. Studi sull'Aspromonte e dintorni. 250 col. figs. 2023. 240 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.- In Italian.
CORTINARI CALABRI by Pietro Rodà, an expert mycologist, scholar and author of numerous publications, is presented as a study volume for all Calabrian mushroom enthusiasts. The Cortinari, in fact, are present in large numbers in the mountains but, until now, are either completely unknown (and Pietro Rodà reports four new ones) or confused with other species.
With the precision of an expert and the love of a lover of his land, the author describes 122 species and variants; the study is completed with another 600 types of mushrooms that are in some way related to the Cortinari.
An accurate manual, with ample photographic support, that will not fail to interest passionate connoisseurs of the many varieties of mushrooms in which the Calabrian mountains, and Aspromonte in particular, abound.
