    Complete description of book in title

    Very informative, wonderful glossy color photos to help prevent fatal mistakes of ingesting a lookalike deadly mushroom. Its great to learn all different types of mushrooms before embarking on an edible wild mushroom lifestyle.

    Better cameras

    It's a great book with lots of information, but the pictures aren't what I was hoping for. They seem dark and far off and the clarity should be better for the price.
