This is a very thorough look into mushrooms. But as a beginner, I felt this book was a bit much for my limited understanding of the subjects involved. Luckily I’ve bought a few books on mushies, as some are a bit more tailored to beginners. Everyone loves Paul Stamets, but I’d just beware that if your new to mushrooms, you may need a lil more hand-holding like I did.
