A scarce first edition of this illustrated mycological work on Siberian and South American fungi.
This book, published under the auspices of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, presents a taxonomic study of 92 fungal species from Siberia and South America, with descriptions in Latin and Hungarian and a bilingual preface. The specimens were collected by Nikolay Martianov and P. G. Lorenz and sent to Kalchbrenner for classification by Baron von Thümen, curator of Mycotheca Universalis. Martianov, founder of the Minusinsk Museum and author of works such as Fungi minusinensis exsicatti (1880), contributed 73 species from Siberia, classified by Kalchbrenner into Agaricini (gilled fungi) and Polyporei (pore fungi). Lorenz collected 19 species from South America in 1876 near Concordia and Concepción del Uruguay.
The book includes four chromolithograph plates illustrating whole fungi and cross-sections of their internal structures.
Károly Kalchbrenner (1807–1886), a Hungarian mycologist, described over 400 fungal species. His collaborations with Elias Magnus Fries and Miles Joseph Berkeley cemented his reputation in the field. A member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, he contributed extensively to mycology.
