With more than 700 mushrooms detailed with color photographs
and descriptive text, this is the most comprehensive
photographic field guide to the mushrooms of North America.
The 762 full-color identification photographs show the
mushrooms as they appear in natural habitats. Organized
visually, the book groups all mushrooms by color and shape
to make identification simple and accurate in the field,
while the text account for each species includes a detailed
physical description, information on edibility, season,
habitat, range, look-alikes, alternative names, and facts on
edible and poisonous species, uses, and folklore. A
supplementary section on cooking and eating wild mushrooms,
and illustrations identifying the parts of a mushroom, round
out this essential guide.
