- A key to all species
- More than 1000 bibliographical references.

What the funds will be used for:
Since I will be printing the book myself, I need to raise funds for the graphic design and printing of the book. The total cost will be about 300,000 and I only have a third of my own funds available.
Whoever contributes 95 EUR or more will receive, in addition to the book itself, a second smaller book with beautiful drawings (same format, perfect binding) by one of the best mushroom illustrators Jiri Polcak. Price includes postage. You can also take the opportunity to buy a larger quantity of books at a better price include postal fees.
Who am I ?
My name is Michal Mikšík, I live in the Czech Republic and I am an amateur mycologist and mushroom photographer. I have already published 6 books about mushrooms in our country and this will be my first foreign language book.
