Treasures from the Kingdom of Fungi
Photographs of Mushrooms and Other Fungi
from around the World
by Taylor F. Lockwood
This gorgeous and unique addition to the literature on fungi could well be the book that brings mushrooms into the mainstream of nature appreciation. A feast for the eyes and mind, more than 270 spectacular color photos portray a wondrous array of mushrooms and other fungi from six continents.
Lockwood, already known internationally for presenting his slide shows of colorful and fantastic fungi under the same title, has created a book that elevates mushroom photography to an art form.
The uniquely assorted fungi, both beautiful and bizarre “beyond words,” vie for the viewers' eyes. At the same time he presents and identifies more than 180 species from 19 countries and 16 U.S. states. Lockwood also shows more than 50 fungi so rare they have not yet been identified, representing nature's mind-boggling diversity. He blends 54 background photos of global natural habitats into montage images surrounding the fungi.
The result is a book, 15 years in the making, that elicits exclamations of awe from all who view it.
