The guide presents 240 parasitic species, subspecies or groups of species living in Finnish wild plants. The introductory chapters discuss the classification, structure, interaction of these fungi with their host plants, and their role in their habitats. The species section consists of genealogy and species descriptions. Fungal growth sites and major host plants are listed. Distribution maps cover Finland, but the overall distribution is also roughly shown. There is a color image of each species. The scientific, Finnish and available Swedish names of the mushrooms have been compiled into a single directory. In addition, the host plants have their own directory with both scientific and Finnish names. The guide is aimed at nature lovers, students and professionals.
