"The genus Lactarius" ("Mælkehatte")
by Jacob Heilmann-Clausen,
Annemieke Verbeken & Jan Vesterholt.
'The genus Lactarius' is the second volume in the series 'Fungi

features of all 97 northern European species of Lactarius recognized
by the authors.
The authors Jacob Heilmann-Clausen (Copenhagen, Denmark), Annemieke
Verbeken (Gent, Belgium) and Jan Vesterholt (Copenhagen, Denmark)
have made comprehensive descriptions of fresh material of Lactarii
from various parts of Europe, thus basing their work on authentic
observations of actual specimens. Furthermore, the detailed studies
of African Lactarii by Annemieke Verbeken have contributed to
a broader scope and general knowledge of the genus.
The result is a much wanted and comprehensive work on a very
interesting but difficult genus.
The book includes description of one new species, two new combinations
and several typifications. It comprises 287 pages. It can be
obtained in bot an english ("The genus Lactarius")
and a danish ("Mælkehatte") version.
