Simon & Schuster's Guide to Mushrooms is an indispensable reference for gardeners, hikers, and anyone fascinated by mushrooms and other fungi. Lavishly illustrated, it contains detailed information about 420 species found in the United States and Europe. A comprehensive introduction provides general information about the structure, reproduction, life cycle, classification, and distribution of the various species. Individual entries describe the appearance, habitat, and geographical distribution of each fungus, and a visual key uses immediately recognizable symbols to indicate spore color, ecological environment, and whether a species is edible or poisonous. Also included are a glossary, an analytical index, and an Index to Genera for locating particular subjects, helping to make this the most beautiful, valuable, and authoritative book in the field.

For centuries scientists have tried to understand the growth and development of multicellular organisms. More recently, with the help of mathematical models and computerized simulations, they have discovered algorithmic patterns and models that seem to describe the dynamic processes in which organisms grow, reproduce, and respond to external factors. In this fascinating and beautifully illustrated book, Hans Meinhardt explains and illustrates these structural growth patterns in the case of sea shells. The book delightfully conveys the intuitive appeal and the "touch of magic" in this research. A diskette packaged with the book contains a program that allows the reader to run the simulations on a PC. New patterns can be generated interactively to provide an insight into the process of biological pattern formation.
