Mycology Books for Beginners Index

I found it strange that this list did not include Gaston Guzman's, The Genus Psilocybe, but then again that is a book of taxonomy of the genus. The list also did not include Ewald Gerhardt's German language monograph of Panaeolus or that of Gyorgy-Miklos Ola'h's French monograph of Panaeolus.

Here are two references to the most simplest of books used in universities on mycology.
Christiansen, Clyde M. 1965. Hallucinogenic fungi. The Molds of Man:215-216. University of Minnesota Press. Minneapolis.
A fine book for studying and learning the basics of mycology (the study of mushrooms).
------. 1975. Molds, Mushrooms and Mycotaxon. 164p. University of Minnesota Press. Minneapolis.
