This review is from: Alaska's Mushrooms: A Practical Guide (Alaska Pocket Guide) (Paperback)
Extremely dissapointed. Product very incomplete, so as to render it nearly useless. Author tried, but not very hard. Would not reccomend this guide to anyone.

This review is from: Alaska's Mushrooms: A Practical Guide (Alaska Pocket Guide) (Paperback)
While this book is fairly informative and useful, it lacks enough information and/or illustration to positively identify mushrooms for forager's consumption.

This review is from: Alaska's Mushrooms: A Practical Guide (Alaska Pocket Guide) (Paperback)
Sadly, I didn't read through this book until it was too late to return it. But I would have if I could have. Information is incomplete, e.g. the author mentions there are poisonous look-alikes for the king bolete but doesn't tell you what they are or how to tell one from the other. I'll be taking another guide to Alaska and donating this to the library book sale.
