Synopsis Methodica Fungorum

An impoverished recluse who never held an official or academic position, Persoon nevertheless managed to build on a good education in Leiden and Göttingen to form a significant herbarium and scientific library on fungi (mushrooms) and to publish works that are considered the basis of modern mycology. Our copy of this classic work, the starting point for the nomenclature of several major groups (including puffballs), includes stilted plates.
