Book Description
The north coast region of New South Wales extends from Newcastle in the south to the Queensland border. As well as being the home of the many lucky people who were raised in the area, this beautiful region has long been a mecca for city people holidaying or seeking a sea-change in their lives, and surfers looking for a good wave. Its rolling green hills, white sandy beaches, dramatic headlands and volcanic features harbour a diverse range of ecosystems and plant species, and it is a meeting place for plants from both tropical and temperate zones. Wildflowers of the North Coast of New South Wales describes over 300 of the most commonly seen plant species. Each entry is illustrated with a colour photograph. The book is organised by habitat, for example Costal Dunes, Coastal Heath, Open Forest and Rainforest. Within each chapter plants are further categorised by type, for example Trees, Large Shrubs or Small Shrubs and Herbs, and then arranged alphabetically by family name. Whether you're a local or a tourist, a gardener, a bushwalker, a surfer or a sunbather, this book will help you to identify the plants that you see in the north coast region.

Book Description
The Hunter Region, between the Hawkesbury and Manning rivers in eastern New South Wales, hosts a rich diversity of vegetation, with many species found nowhere else. Spanning an area from the coast to the tablelands and slopes, its rainforests, wet and dry sclerophyll forests, woodlands, heathlands, grasslands and swamps are known for their beauty and ecological significance. Flora of the Hunter Region describes 54 endemic trees and large shrubs, combining art and science in a manner rarely seen in botanical identification guides. Species accounts provide information on distribution, habitat, flowering, key diagnostic features and conservation status, along with complete taxonomic descriptions.

Wild Mushrooming
Author: Alison Pouliot
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 1486311741
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Fungi are diverse, delicious and sometimes deadly. With interest in foraging for wild food on the rise, learning to accurately identify fungi reduces both poisoning risk to humans and harm to the environment. This extensively illustrated guide takes a 'slow mushrooming' approach – providing the information to correctly identify a few edible species thoroughly, rather than many superficially. Wild Mushrooming: A Guide for Foragers melds scientific and cultural knowledge with stunning photography to present a new way of looking at fungi. It models 'ecological foraging' – an approach based on care, conservation and a deep understanding of ecosystem dynamics. Sections on where, when and how to find fungi guide the forager in the identification of 10 edible species. Diagnostic information on toxic fungi and lookalike species helps to differentiate the desirable from the deadly. Wild Mushrooming then takes us into the kitchen with cooking techniques and 29 recipes from a variety of cuisines that can be adapted for both foraged and cultivated fungi. Developing the skills to find fungi requires slowness, not speed. This guide provides the necessary information for the safe collection of fungi, and is essential reading for fungus enthusiasts, ecologists, conservationists, medical professionals and anyone interested in the natural world.
