While it is a very good book, mushrooms are so variable in shape and

which is why we created the usenet newsgroup free.uk.nature.mushroom
so as not to get mingled with, and at xporpoises with, the n.american

How do you subscribe to this group? I can only find alt.nature.mushrooms
which is presumably the one you say is dominated by US members/concerns.

I asked our Zetgod i.c. the server to carry it. (Oh, and it's 'mushrooms')
