After EJH Corner passed away in 1996, all extant collections of Malaysian boletoid fungi were re - examined by the author. The volume presents the results of the morphotaxonomic revision, supported byillustrations of the microscopic characters.- Quote from review inMYCOTAXON 117, p.504: Dr. Horak presents revised descriptions of taxa combining information from Corner's original protologues and Latindiagnoses (the latter translated into English to facilitate study),data gained from additional studies of Corner's holotypes and other collections, and data from studies of holotype collections from othercollectors (including Baker, Heim, Höhnel, Hooker, and Ridley, amongothers) for those species included but not described by Corner. Horakprovides analyses of 160 (124 accepted, 22 doubtful, and 15 rejected,excluded, or invalid) species, including emended descriptions,line drawings of microscopic features (127 figures),lists of observations and conclusions from his studies, and nomenclatural changes necessary for bringing the nomenclature of Corner's taxa up-to-date with current concepts. Additional features include taxonomic keys to allof the treated taxa, a list of additional important taxonomic studies of boletes from the Far East, a synopsis of all of the treated taxaarranged by currently accepted genus,...
