As stated elsewhere in our website (and many others!), Taylor F. Lockwood is arguably the best mushroom photographer on the planet. His annual wall calendar is a perennial delight, and the 2010 edition graces myoffice wall, directly in my line of sight. It's stunning.
Taylor's calendar finally motivated me to purchase his book, Treasures from the Kingdom of Fungi (copyright 2008). In a word, it's astonishing. Mushrooms and fungi from all over the world, some familiar, many not, all with one thing in common: they are simply gorgeous. If you like mushrooms at all (and if you don't, why are you here?), your coffee table needs this book. So do you. See www.kingdomoffungi.com.
And to give you another taste of Taylor's work, see his photographs of some of the more poisonous fungi at www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=seven-deadly-shrooms.
