4.0 out of 5 stars Mushroom Magic, July 11, 2002

By	Perversonality "P" (UK) - See all my reviews

A well written and easy to understand book which clearly defines each type of mushroom with illustrations and photographs (in the appendix). It shows how to identify and distinguish between poisonous and hallucinogenic mushrooms (a vital skill). It also gives details on habitat. A useful reference guide. The only extra bit of advice I would give those thinking of ingesting hallucinogenic mushrooms is to always keep a sample in case something goes wrong so they can easily be identified. If in doubt don't pick. This book will certainly help reduces the confusion between similar looking psychotropic and poisonous mushrooms.

3.0 out of 5 stars West coast only., May 17, 2006

By	K. Williams - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is for north-western hunters. Drawings are low quality. I wouldn't trust myself with just this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great summarizing mushroom identification guide., June 6, 1999

By A Customer

Easily identifies the genus of the mushroom to help identification in further examination. A great, pocket size manual to show which mushrooms are worth picking and which are better left alone. Used with another guide that features expanded species and photographs this book is a neccesity for hunting.
