Reviews for Drawing and Painting Fungi: An Artists Guide to Finding and Illustrating Mushrooms and Lichens

The text is admirably comprehensive, with plenty of information about fungi themselves, as well as ways of depicting them in pencil, ink, watercolour and gouache... it looks excellent to me. -- Henry Malt, The Artist * The Artist *
