A remarkable work in the of mycology, providing a visual…and physical record of British fungi. Miles Joesph Berkeley (1803-1889), a Church of England clergyman and naturalist and to be later known as 'the father of British mycology'. He contributed the section on British fungi to Sir James Edward Smith's 'The English Flora' which was published in 5 volumes from 1824 to 1836. Here he presents the dried specimens which he had described in Smith's work. For obvious reasons fungal exsiccatae are much rarer than other species of the genus and complete set are seldom meet with. This being the only complete set to appear at auction in the past 70 years. Provenance: Andrew Fountaine library; the library of Michael Walpole (1933-2009), founding member of the Loughborough Naturalists' Club.
