The Kingdom Fungi: The Biology of Mushrooms, Molds, and Lichens

The ubiquitous fungi are little known and vastly underappreciated. Yet, without them we wouldn’t have bread, alcohol, cheese, tofu, or the unique flavors of mushrooms, morels, and truffles. We can’t survive without fungi.

The Kingdom Fungi provides a comprehensive look at the biology, structure, and morphological diversity of these necessary organisms. It sheds light on their ecologically important roles in nature, their fascinating relationships with people, plants, and animals, and their practical applications in the manufacture of food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. The book includes information about “true” fungi, fungus-like creatures (slime molds and water molds), and a group of “composite” organisms (lichens) that are more than just fungi. Particular attention is given to examples of fungi that might be found in the home and encountered in nature.

The Kingdom Fungi is a useful introductory text for naturalists, mycologists, and anyone who wants to become more familiar with, and more appreciative of, the fascinating world of fungi.

fungus on the right is about five inches tall - trail in the Tiny Marshes in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada -- tripod mounted Canon G2 - it is extremely helpful to have a tripod that has a camera mounting screw on the bottom of the central column, but where it really gets helpful is the Canon G2 and its twistable LCD screen. No matter how you have to set the camera and its lens to aim at the subject, you can twist the screen and avoid lying down on the ground, you can easily stand or crouch and see exactly how the image is going to frame out....what a great feature.

Jest placed my majority of gears for some cleaning and inspection.

No fungus growth so it's great and some dust speck in zoom especially 35-135mm but it was there as far as I remember so it must be from beginning when I bought it second-hand in very early '90s.

D200 sensor cleaned also.

300mm had mould around the edge of rear element when I bought it. It stays very clean since I cleaned it about 6 months ago. So, I'm quite happy with it.

One F4s and 28mm F3.5 have been sold.

I have since added few more items ore replaced some.
