Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
The third edition of this field guide (first published as The Savory Wild Mushroom) describes 199 edible, non-edible, and poisonous mushrooms commonly found in the Pacific Northwest, but omits the recipes included in the 1962 and 1971 editions. Grouped by the general types of the fruiting bodies, the entries feature a color photograph, give common and scientific names, describe the mushroom, and remark on its edibility and similarity to other species. The guide includes an up-to-date chapter on mushroom poisons. Beginners will appreciate the well-printed photographs and clear, nontechnical language. Advanced mycophiles will prefer the Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms (Knopf, 1981). William Brockman, Drew Univ. Lib., Madison,

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent resource for Northwestern pot pickers, July 7, 1998
By A Customer
The photography in this book is excellent. The book is keyed to the Pacific Northwest, so those who live in or visit the area will find it very easy to use. The descriptors are clear especially concerning edibility. The book fits nicely into a day pack for all you hikers out there. I would highly recomend this book, it is probably one of the best books out there!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional and Updated!, August 15, 2007
By T. Cady (Spokane, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The 5 Star rating is due to the fact I live in the geographical area that this book is focused toward. (Pacific NW) It gives very clear descriptions and key indicators that help in determining which mushrooms are edible, as well as information regarding those that are not. It explains toxicity, advises about being careful with certain fungi, and informs greatly!
I do wish Margaret was still with us, but am pleased that the book was updated by her colleague.
