Mushrooms Galore!

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2000

This is a great book, and at no. 137,000 this Bob Harris' book on Mushrooms seems all set to pass the other Bob Harris' book on Chomskian analysis of how dumb all those journalists are, excepting of course Mssrs. Cohen and Solomon.

Not Quite Worth The Price

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2000

Verified Purchase

Apparently, this book was written to cater to those interested in hallucinogenic fungi. I initially bought this book in the hopes that it would teach me how to set up a cultivation operation focused primarily on edible, gourmet mushrooms. What I got instead was a poorly organized book rife with errors. The text has almost nothing to say about growing edible mushrooms. Rather, it is basically little more than a souped-up underground manual for the cultivation of hallucinogenic or so-called 'magic' mushrooms.
To demonstrate how erroneous this book is, the author begins the book by saying that fungi are plants! As any good student of biology knows, fungi lack chlorophyll, thus can not be considered plants, and occupy their own, separate kingdom. These and other gross errors throughout the text make it unfit as a starting point for those interested in mushroom cultivation.
The book is poorly organized, and places way too much emphasis on the psilocybe mushrooms, with passing reference to the cultivation of Pleurotus (oyster) mushrooms. In addition to some gratuitous color photos of a variety of Psilocybe mushrooms, and a few poorly placed black and white photos, this unremarkable book comes without an index, references, or supplementary materials. Furthermore, for the money you spend, you will not get much more than eighty six pages devoted to terse methods for locating, identifying, and cultivating the Psilocybe mushrooms (and this even is at a very low level).
The title of this book should actually be: 'Growing Hallucinogenic Mushrooms'. For those interested in Psilocybe mushrooms, this book may serve as an adequate reference. For individuals interested in the edible and gourmet mushrooms, a good starting point is Paul Stamets' utilitarian book 'The Mushroom Cultivator' and his comprehensive, though sometimes off-beat 'Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms'.

I was pretty disappointed. It's mostly about setting up growth conditions ...

I guess if I had known that this book was written in Berkeley in the 70s, I would have figured out that it was mostly about hallucinogenic mushrooms. Hoping for a book on morels, shiitakes, and other wild nutritional mushrooms, I was pretty disappointed. It's mostly about setting up growth conditions inside your house, where law enforcement presumably can't see what you're growing quite so easily. I would give it a poorer rating except that it did say hallucinogenic in the subtitle - I just didn't know the content would be 95% on that topic.

Mixed feelings

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is an interesting volume, but definitely not for the layman - if you are looking for an in-depth explanation of the factors affecting the growth of mycelium and lengthy instructions on how to find or even make some serious growing equipment, this book is for you. However, if you're hoping for something a little simpler, perhaps as a book to start off with, I'd definitely recommend looking elsewhere.
