Gyula Istvánffi (Cluj, April 5, 1860 – Budapest, August 16, 1930) botanist, mycologist, ampelologist. His main field of research was the pathological examination of fungi and grape diseases caused by fungi, and the development of plant protection methods against them. He became a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences from 1901, and then a full member from 1920. "The number of foreign works written about edible and poisonous mushrooms is considerable, but among them there are hardly any modern and yet popular works suitable for our conditions there is, because we mostly live with different species than those for whom they were written, or the characterization and representation of mushrooms is such that the large audience does not adapt easily. Nowadays, mushrooms are not a delicious delicacy, but an economically significant food, and spreading and making them known in all circles is an important task that promotes the well-being of peoples." - writes the author in the foreword of his book. The book is a reprint version of the original edition, which also includes the color plates.
