Bernard CLESSEBonsoir à toutes et tous,Pourriez-vous m'aider à
I'm sure there have been many taxonomic changes, but if one is just interested having a decent description of a large number of ascos (Helotiales especially, but descriptions of e.g. pyrenos would also be nice), do you think these are still worth buying?
I've been searching for a relatively comprehensive book about ascos and this pair is the only one that seems interesting to me. Not an over-abundance of literature in this field...
If buying Microfungi on Land Plants look out for the enlarged edition (1997) rather than the 1st edition (1985). It has further hosts/fungi added in a section at the back.
To help with costs, look out for 2nd hand copies. They can be purchased for as little as E15 each if you are lucky however I would expect the average 2nd price to be around E30 each.
I use the books regularly – they are not of course up to date on some species however they provide a really good starting point, and for many species get you in a good place where you can explore more comprehensive literature.
I would recommend both books.
