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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: 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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
