Similar to the first volume of "Costa Rica Mushrooms" (Mata, 2003), this second volume covers 90 of the most distinctive, although not necessarily most common, species. The text clearly states where the mushrooms can be found by specifying the different conservation areas into which Costa Rica is divided. The field guide consists of two sections. The Introduction contains general information on mushrooms, including morphology and the relationships they develop within their environment. The second part offers a technical description of each species to aid in field identification of mushrooms using simple visual examination. Each description includes a color photograph of the species, along with brief explanations of size, shape, habitat, seasonality (months when the species can be seen), uses, local distribution by conservation area, and distribution worldwide. The description also highlights a few distinctive features as an aid in identification.

The orchid family, whose scientific name is Orchidaceae, is the most numerous of all the world's plants, with nearly 20,000 species. Costa Rica is no exception, since orchids are the largest plant family in the country with between 1,300 and 1,400 known species. This is the second of a series of field guides on Costa Rica's orchids and provides a tool for the visual identification of most species. Each species is illustrated with one or several photographs of the flowers and other important details, such as their growth habit and color variation. The main purpose of this series of guides is to promote the conservation of native orchid populations, which are in danger of becoming extinct due to large-scale extraction.
