About this product

Product Information

This is the most comprehensive guide to foraging for wild mushrooms in UK and Northern Europe for both beginners and experienced foragers. With a special pictorial index, it describes the best tasting fungi, where to find them and when they are at their best; how to distinguish between the edible species and the poisonous lookalikes and when to leave an edible mushroom alone so the species can survive. A fascinating, wise companion on the journey into the delicious, world of fungi. Come Autumn, it will accompany every foray I make into the woods, and my life, and my frying pan, will be vastly richer because of it. - Rob Hopkins, founder of the Transition movement. Bursting with quality photos and great information, this book is a must for foragers. Put it in your rucksack, and let it guide you on safe, fun fungal adventures. - Fergus Drennan aka Fergus The Forager

  • Great book

    Being a fervent forager, and owning a few fungi reference books, I have something to compare this to. Geoff's book is a good read, very well thought out/laid out, very informative and has great photos to back it up. Whilst it doesn't cover 1000's of fungi, it does cover all that's required from an enthusiast's point of view. Recommended.

  • Love this book!

    I have several tomes on the subject of mushrooms, this is the first one that bothered to teach me anything, from translations of all the terms I see in the other books, to interesting anecdotes that improves my understanding. My only wish is that it had MORE mushrooms in!

  • A good addition

    Good to find a reference that I can use and I would teach my grandkids from. I always advocate having a few books for reference when forageing and this is one I have in my bag.

  • Excellent Book!

    Thick book with actual pictures of mushrooms! Very descriptive; tells you if mushroom is edible, not edible, hallucinaxionogenic or poisonous! Certainly I would recommend this book for everyone!
