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.

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.

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.

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 recognise

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 time
