I bought this book back in 2003. It is a beautiful book with wonderful photos and detailed descriptions of some of the most delicious edible mushrooms.



It also has a very good section on mushroom poisoning and concise descriptions of poisonous mushrooms to avoid.



My favorite thing about the book are the identification points that are designed to exclude any possibility of mistaking a mushroom for a poisonous look-alike. You cannot poison yourself IF you conscientiously follow point by point.



Although I own several great mushroom books now, I consider this one my "mushroom bible."



Other reviewers have criticized the recipes. I wouldn't know about that because I have always looked at recipes only to get ideas for my own creations. If you want mushroom recipes, there are plenty of those available.



But there is not another wild edible mushroom identification guide for the beginner or intermediate enthusiast that comes close to comparing with this book.



Very highly recommended.
