The magazine is produced to a high standard, with thirty-two pages in full colour and is packed with articles, information, keys and other practical advice designed to help the amateur mycologist broaden his or her knowledge of the subject, understand the workings of fungi more fully and so gain greater benefit from their foraying ventures.’

1st. Ed. Pub. Bodleian Library. 2013 pp.120 with col. illus. throughout. 4to. Fine hardback.
These charming, vibrant, watercolour paintings of orchard fruits on the branch, popularly known as Tradescants' Orchard, is a precious and fragile relic of this era of broadening horticultural horizons. This manuscript, traditionally associated with the renowned plantsmen, the John Tradescants, was among the eclectic collections of Elias Ashmole (1617-1692), which came to form the basis of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. All sixty-six of the original illustrations are reproduced here in facsimile for the first time, following a general introduction which maps out the mystery of why and how these beguiling watercolours came to be commissioned and made.
