Presentation
The “Iconographia Mycologica” is the most famous work by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola. It is the sum of a lifelong mycological study. Published between 1927 and 1933 under the supervision of G.B. Traverso, L. Fenaroli, G. Catoni and G.B. Trener (with some addenda by other authors published in the following decades), it includes 1250 colour plates, which depict approximately 1400 fungal species, mainly Italian but from other countries as well. Original editions are rare; the 1981-1982 reprint is no longer in print.
We are proud of this digital version of this outstanding work. It is based on an original edition pub-lished more than seventy years ago. We hope that this digital edition will be useful to mycologists and mushroom enthusiasts and that it will bring renewed attention to the masterpiece of the father of Italian mycology.
