Not Much Room for any other Books on Mushrooms
This is the definitive handbook for mushroom lovers in the UK: the illustrations and descriptions are clear and concise, and unlike some guides, it gives useful indications of edibility.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A great reference guide for Mycologists. Amateurs and beginners would find other guide books more readily fathomable.
If you are looking for a comprehensive guide book because you want to be able to identify mushrooms, either in the field or at home, then I recommend you look at other upto date books on this subject which have been aimed at beginners and keen amateurs. If you are well on your way to being a Mycologist, then you will appreciate (and understand) the content in this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Well illustrated and easy to follow
This is a great book for identifying mushrooms. The pictures have multiple examples with intact stem, dissected stem, root and gills all clearly shown. Thoroughly recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great, informative guide to recognising mushrooms and which to avoid
Great book, informative with good quality pics. This was bought for a relative as I already have one, and it is recommended by those more knowledgeable about mycology than me. Highly recommended for people starting out on a mushroom foraging venture. Shows poisonous look a likes too, essential to recogniseVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

A reliable and useful book for identifying native toadstools, puffballs etc
I know this book quite well and bought it for friends with a wood - hope they also find it useful (whether or not 'compelling'). It's one of the books that mycologists who lead fungus walks recommend to the general public for identification of our native toadstools - edible and otherwise.. Thankyou for sending it to them on timeVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Too detailed for beginners
There is much in the book I was not aware off. Very comprehensive and detailed. However, the pictures do not always clearly show differences between similar spices. Left more doubt than certainty in some instances.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent reference book
This book is extremely comprehensive and informative. Roger Phillips is a very thorough writer who has written many excellent books on similar subjects. I often use his books on Trees and Wildflowers for reference.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

My third mushroom book and I am very pleased with it.
The most comprehensive book on FungiI have seen. Great for home use but a tad heavy for a field guide. Good Photographs.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
