Nouvel atlas de poche des champignons Comestibles et Vénéneux les plus répandus. Série II (Première édition)

This compact atlas offers a hands‑on tour of the most common edible and poisonous mushrooms of early‑20‑century France. Every entry pairs a vivid, hand‑coloured plate with a concise description that highlights cap shape, colour, spore print and distinguishing surface features, making field identification straightforward even for beginners. The author also weaves in broader mycological insights—classification, basic anatomy, and tips for using a microscope or a simple camera.

Beyond the plates, the guide provides practical tables for species determination and even a short primer on Esperanto, reflecting the era’s enthusiasm for international scientific exchange. Readers are invited to experiment with their own photographs and watercolor reproductions, following step‑by‑step instructions that blend art with science. With its blend of precise illustration, historical charm, and approachable expertise, the atlas remains a valuable companion for anyone eager to explore the fungal world.
