This is a re-release of a 1960 booklet. It is of interest to historical mycologists but not very useful to amateurs who need a book to keep them away from toxic mushrooms. There are some good pictures; unfortunately, most of them are on the cover of the book.

this book is as simple as it gets, a great book to start out with. he covers the fool proof 5, some stuff to stay away from, and if your smart, more stuff to stay away from. if you know nothing, you will learn alot. if you want to identify as many mushrooms as possible, look elsewhere.

I thought I was buying a nice colorful book with colorful pictures inside like on the cover. NOT! The cover is the best part of the book. The pictures inside are difficult to see exactly what the mushroom should look like and they are in black and white

Great information but I was disappointed that the photos were in black and white. I had to order another book so I could see the colors of the mushrooms I was finding. The book was a good resource for comparison with a book with color photos.
