Review

Both pleasant to read and instructive . . . . You will be beguiled by the easy flow of clear and non-technical language and the interesting path along which you are being led. --Garden

Even experts will surely find new information here and take pleasure in reading the highly enjoyable chapter on European, Chinese and Russian traditions and tales. --Il Giardino Fiorito

This pleasantly detailed little volume is loaded with both information about mushrooms and with just over 50 pages of recipes . . . . Fine reading! --Mushroom, The Journal -- Mushroom, The Journal
