  • Best field book on the subject

    This was way better than expected. As a field guide it tells you everything you need to know. What time of year, what to look out for, what looks like it etc. Brilliant

  • Incomplete

    No complaints about the accuracy of the identification but there are many more edible species not shown in the book. I’m disappointed to have bought what amounts to a beginner level book.
