Nice to have you on this site, Dr. Sethi. You will probably be innundated with several requests including mine for fungi identification in the coming weeks and we hope you can find the time to fulfill some of our wishes.
A book on Indian fungi is most welcome. I sincerely hope the publishers of Dr. Sethi's fungi book take more than adequate care in printing photographs of top quality. Quite some time ago I was in touch with Clive Shirley in New Zealand for want of Indian experts on fungi but New Zealand fungi are different from Indian fungi so that was not much help. However, its worth cheking his site: http://www.hiddenforest.co.nz/fungi/index.htm It gives an idea of the potential our forests hold for discovering mushrooms and moulds. Dr. Sethi's forthcoming book is the beginning of a journey to the world of fungi.
