Cryptogam identification for conservation ecologists

Learning is largely based on your own notes, and the recommended literature is therefore a supplement and not mandatory.

In the sections on mosses and lichens, we will often refer to two books that we recommend you bring with you:

Moberg, R. Thor, G. Hultengren, S. (2025). Lavar: en fältguide. (Second edition). Naturcentrum.
ISBN: 9789185221523
Older editions are also acceptable.

Hallingbäck, T. (2021). Mosses: a field guide. (2nd edition). Naturcentrum
ISBN: 9789185221448

For fungi, the following book provides a good overview of the group with text and images of most species on the list:

Ryman, S. (1992). Svampar: en fälthandbok. (3rd edition). Stenströms bokförlag.
ISBN: 9789186448318

For microscopy in general and specifically for fungi, the following is very useful:

Nilson, J. (2016). Svamp under mikroskopet: en handledning vid studiet av storsvampar. Mykologiska publikationer nr 7. Sveriges Mykologiska Förening.

All indicator species are also described with good texts and images in:

Nitare, J (ed.). Swedish Forest Agency. (2023). Skyddsvärd skog: naturvårdsarter och andra kriterier för naturvärdesbedömning. (Third edition). Swedish Forest Agency
ISBN: 9789198629750
Older editions are also acceptable.

A more field-friendly format is available in:

Salomon, L. (2023). Fältflora över signalarter i skog: lavar, mossor, kärlväxter. (Second edition). BoD.
ISBN: 9789180575508
