Review (by Malcolm Storey)

The 1960 checklist of mushrooms and toadstools consisted of three parts:

Part I: the checklist

Part II: (PDO) lists the genus changes and provides accounts of several genera and many species. A very useful paper in its day.

Part II: (F.B.H.) is similar but much shorter.

By current thinking we have more then twice as many species as recognised in 1960.
