Very rare. The „Fungorum in Pannoniis observatorum brevis historia“ of the dutch botanist is the first exhaustive monograph on fungi and the first regional fungi-flora. Clusius describes 105 species of fungi from Hungaria, including 45 edible species. Additional material was published in the second volume of his works „Exoticorum libri decem“.
