The atlas presents the diversity and richness of large fungi in Central Europe. The 1206 described taxa are supplemented by more than 800 additional taxa in the notes. The general chapters cover the external and internal structure of fungi, their ecology, threats and protection, discuss their nomenclature, toxins, colours, tastes and smells, and give practical advice on identifying and collecting mushrooms and using them in the kitchen. Their descriptions offer essential information for identification, accompanied by illustrations that depict the typical appearance of the fruiting bodies of each species. For many species, reliable identification requires microscopic analysis, so the descriptions also contain information on key micro-characteristics. Information on the edibility, inedibility, or toxicity is also included.
