ReviewsThe authors, both biologists and mycologists, present clear scientific information. An AZ listing gives descriptions, a few facts about each mushroom, cautionary rules, and tips on cooking, when appropriate., Outstanding tips on how to cultivate the top eight species grown and eaten worldwide. Beautifully illustrated with outstanding photographs, certainly the best this reviewer has ever seen., I know all interested in exactly which types can be eaten will find this book just what they have been looking for. The photographs are superb and allow for easy and quick identification and having 'edible' or 'poisonous' in bold print at the end of each caption is most commendable., This is an ambitious undertaking ... and the result is a highly informative and useful text that doubles as a field guide. This book is sure to become an essential resource for mushroom aficionados and mycology professionals., The photographs are absolutely beautiful, and will likely inspire me to brave fall game hunting seasons (decked out in fluorescent colors, of course) to do some mushroom hunting., "This is an ambitious undertaking ... and the result is a highly informative and useful text that doubles as a field guide.
