Cooke, M.C. Illustrations of British Fungi. Hymenomycetes.
Pub. Williams & Norgate. 1881-1883 8 volumes with 1198 fine chromolithographed plates. In original cloth boards. Occasional spotting to endpapers and title pages otherwise text and plates very clean. A nice set of this monumental work. Ex-Oxford Lib.
This was Cooke’s most ambitious work. Only a small number of copies were printed. Cooke was by the time of this publication a very respected mycologist and had already been instrumental in the production of the journal ‘Grenvillea’. This 8 volume work has some of the most amazing illustrations which even today are of great use in identification, providing of course, you have the latest taxonomic reference book.
