  • Great book, fun to read - good for beginners and mycophiles in general!

    Great book, fun to read and very informative. Not the most skilled writing, but the author is very knowledgeable about the topic. Great for beginners too!

  • Very Interesting and Informative.

    This book came in record time, just 4 days after purchase. It has detailed, well colored pages, and comprehensive information on how to find these mushrooms, where to find them, how to clean and prepare them, things to watch out for, lists of look-alikes that could be dangerous, and even a few medicinal and psychodelic and and psychotherapeutic ones are listed. It retails for $24.99, so the price is a REALLY good value, too. It arrived in immaculate condition, no creases or tears, just like new.

  • Worthwhile reading

    As a newbie to mycology I found this book extremely readable, informative, and encouraging of my ability to improve my knowledge and skills, and learn to safely harvest some of the more common edible species in New England. It’s not a reference volume, of which there are many, and they are usually not nearly as engaging for pleasure reading as is this title.

  • Good Book For Mushroom Hunters

    I bought this book as a gift and was happy to see the clear color illustrations of the mushrooms. It offers descriptions and history of the mushrooms and if it is edible, a recipe. This was exactly what I was looking for and glad to have found it.
