Book Description

Publication Date: June 1982

Are the red ones poisonous? Can you eat a puff ball? Our questions about mushrooms are legion. This handy guide offers many of the answers. Their seasons, colours, sizes, characteristics, and especially their edibility are dealt with in succinct detail, and coloured photographs offer additional help in identification. Many mushrooms should be collected only by camera -- but these ones are clearly noted in the text. Those which make such delightful additions to gourmet meals are here too, complete with hints on how to cook them and herbs to add. Whether you are mycologist (a person who studies mushrooms) or a mycophagist ( a person who likes to eat wild mushrooms), this is an invaluable filed guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good field guide for edible mushrooms, January 21, 2002

This review is from: Guide to Eastern Mushrooms (Paperback)

Great book, sized for easy packing in a knap sack (5.5 x 8.5). It's the nice photographs with complete descriptions that makes this the right book to pick edible mushrooms, or collect mushroom photos and know what you have. Although this book is geared for the New England Region, it also is applicable to the Northeastern US and Canada. His details include: cap color, edibility, size, spore print, shape, gills, texture, flesh, stalk, habit/habitat, distrubution and season, with photo of each. One to keep if you can find it.
