Yet an estimated two-thirds of the expected 22,000 species remain unrecorded. This volume seeks to provide a foundation for understanding New Zealand's fungi, including taxonomic, ecological, historical, and cultural knowledge about fungi, along with inventories of recorded species. This book represents a cooperative initiative by several New Zealand mycologists, in conjunction with a Swiss colleague.
