About this book

Language: Estonian with bilingual key in English and Estonian and short English descriptions

The first volume of the series Eesti Elurikkus (Estonian Biodiversity) the aim of which is to publish monographic reviews of plant taxa found in Estonia. Instead of a complete encyclopedia of the more than 25,000 plants species found in Estonia, this is a series in which Estonian plant groups are treated family-wise by a specialist. The books will be based on the principle that their content should be scientifically correct, but also easy to use for nature lovers.

Volume 1 contains 60 species belonging to the mushroom genus Lactarius, commonly known as milk-caps, found in Estonia, and gives original descriptions and colour images, showing the ecology and distribution. A further 22 species that may be present are briefly described in Estonian and English. The book also briefly covers the methods used to determine characteristics and the specialized vocabulary.

Summary in Estonian:
Esimene köide sarjast Eesti Elurikkus, mille eesmärgiks on avaldada monograafilisi ülevaateid Eestis leiduvate taksonite kohta. Sarja algatajate sooviks ei ole välja anda Eestist leitud rohkem kui 25,000 liigi täielikku entsüklopeediat. Pigem on tegemist sarjaga, milles ilmuvad raamatuna käsitlused sellistest Eesti liigirühmadest, mida mõni meie spetsialist hästi tunneb. Raamatute koostamisel lähtutakse põhimõttest, et nende sisu oleks teaduslikult korrektne, kuid ühtlasi loodusehuvilistele võimalikult lihtsalt kasutatav.

Raamat sisaldab 60 Eestist leitud riisikaliigi originaalkirjeldusi, värvipilte ning ökoloogia- ja levikuandmeid, samuti 22 Eestis leiduda võiva liigi lühikirjeldusi ning määramistabeleid eesti ja inglise keeles. Raamatus käsitletakse lühidalt ka riisikate määramiseks vajalikke tunnuseid ja esitatakse erialaste mõistete oskussõnastik. Lisana on kaasas riisikate taskumääraja.
