About this book

Language: Italian with English terms and scientific nomenclature

This dictionary addresses the vast and complex discipline of mycology from every point of view. Featuring an elegant graphic layout, it provides numerous introductory chapters, useful both to understand the structure of the book and to better penetrate the intricate lexicographic panorama – the work is embellished by a substantial iconographic treatment that houses hand-made colour plates and photographs of high technical-scenographic level. Set along the lines of the previous volume (Mykonolexicon 1, dedicated to the medical-pathological aspects of the subject), this dictionary deviates from it for the contents and for the considerable number of illustrations, many of which concern edible and poisonous (even deadly) mushrooms of Italy, species of the extra-European mycobiota, as well as details of lichenofungal and vegetable structures, not always documented in scientific contributions. In summary, the Dizionario Illustrato dei Funghi is not only a tool for easy consultation, but should also serve to increase the reader's interest in the rich and largely hidden world of mycology.

Features:
Over 11,000 entries, synonyms and antonyms, about 3,900 taxa cited, etymology for a large number of terms, more than 1,400 black and white drawings, 34 colour plates with about 680 mushrooms represented, over 450 colour photographs, English-Italian vocabulary (the English translation is given for each term, though the definitions are given in Italian), index of taxa, index of cited plants.

Summary in Italian:
Oltre 11.000 voci considerate • Sinonimi e contrari • Circa 3.900 taxa citati • Etimologia riferita a un elevato numero di lemmi • Più di 1400 disegni in bianco e nero • 34 tavole a colori con circa 680 funghi rappresentati • oltre 450 fotografie a colori • Vocabolario inglese-italiano • Indice dei taxa con rinvio ai corrispettivi lemmi • Indice delle piante citate.

Un libro nuovo sotto ogni profilo, ampiamente illustrato, che affronta la vasta e complessa disciplina micologica in forma di glossario. Elegante sotto la veste grafica e provvista di numerosi capitoli introduttivi, utili sia per comprendere la struttura del libro sia per meglio addentrarsi nell’intricato panorama lessicografico – l’opera è impreziosita da una corposa trattazione iconografica che ospita tavole a colori realizzate a mano e fotografie di alto livello tecnico-scenografico. Impostato sulla falsariga del precedente Volume (Mykonolexicon 1, dedicato agli aspetti medico-patologici della materia), il presente Dizionario se ne discosta per i contenuti e per il considerevole numero di illustrazioni, molte delle quali riguardanti funghi commestibili e velenosi (anche mortali) del nostro Territorio, specie del micobiota extraeuropeo, nonché particolari di strutture lichenofungine e vegetali, non sempre documentate in contributi scientifici. In sintesi, il Dizionario Illustrato dei Funghi si propone non soltanto come uno strumento di agile consultazione, ma anche di contribuire ad accrescere l’interesse – nel Lettore – verso nuovi orizzonti del multiforme universo micologico, davvero infinito...
