Scholarly, yet accessible.,
By Bundita (Arbovale, WV USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: North American Boletes: A Color Guide to the Fleshy Pored Mushrooms (Hardcover)
This book is a little pricey, but sometimes you get what you pay for. The keys are fabulous, the photography excellent, and by limiting itself to boletes, this book covers most of what you will find, at least in North America. I have been collecting, identifying, and eating wild mushrooms for years, and this is one of the best reference books of the many I've used.

Best Reference Guide,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: North American Boletes: A Color Guide to the Fleshy Pored Mushrooms (Hardcover)
This is the best reference book I have on Boletes. Because it just covers boletes it is a fairly comprehensive guide, and the book is so easy to use. The keys make it easy to identify just about any Bolete. The descriptions are in alphabetical order as are the pictures so it is easy to flip through to find what you want. The pictures are incredible! The price was well worth it for me.

Best Bolete Book Ever,
By
This review is from: North American Boletes: A Color Guide to the Fleshy Pored Mushrooms (Hardcover)
This is the best Bolete book ever published, that I have seen. Each fall I identify the various species of boletes that our Pacific Northwest mycological club gathers for our annual show. The club owns one of these books and I have used it for identification and teaching purposes. When I saw the price drop online I decided to buy my own. I believe others who have written more negative reviews just have not gotten far enough into the "mushroom world" to appreciate this fine text. For those I would say "stay to the easier picture books until you have more of a command of the terminology. There are reasons why the book is arranged the way it is (pictures not next to the text)." Come back to this text when you have got the hang of using dichotomous keys and understand the terminology. I bet that then you will appreciate this book a whole lot more.
