What is your precise problem? Do you want to buy mycological books? If
so which books? Which genera? Or do you want access to a good
mycological library? If so, where are you based? Most of the online
bookstores, like Amazon.com, offer very good search facilities, if you
give exact titles or subjects. In the UK, for example, the Natural
History Book Service have an online bookshop, and they have a vast stock
of myco books. Krypto (Fluck-Wirth) in (I think) Geneva, specialises in
fungi and cryptogams, and Koeltz (Konigstein) has an incredible stock.
There's a lot of information out there, you just have to be more
specific.
