1: A Mycologist's Dream book
I have a small library of dichotomous key books that I have collected over the 15 years I have been interested in mushrooms and this is the best new book on mycology I found it via the Prairie State Mushroom Club in Iowa that I am a member of. It has brief but valuable biological descriptive info supplemented by great photos showing immature button to mature stages of the 5 major genera: Amanita, Lacterus,Cortinaarius, and Boletus. In addition, it states for each species whether it is edible,not recommended, non-edible/poisonous. A good glossary and beginner's key of nomenclature and methods of spore,pilus,stipe identification. A "must have" book for any amateur or professional fungalist. Arnold Christian, Blue Grass, IA

2: Terrific book!
This book has a ton of great pictures and descriptions. I bought this book for my fiance who is a mushroom inthusiast. There were many times when we would be taking a walk and he would wonder if mushrooms we saw were edible. He keeps the book in his car, and it's a great reference guide. The descriptions let us know where to expect certain mushrooms, if they are edible or not, and what they taste like.
I highly recommend this book for new mushroom hunters!

3: Bring back the soft cover!
I love this book, it has more pictures than any other mushroom book. It's like a bible for mushroom identifying.
BUT the older edition with the soft cover was way more practical to drag around in the field and easier to thumb through.
I miss it.

4: Great photo guide for mushroom collectors
I bought this book for use in identifying and photographing mushrooms in New England, and it has yet to disappoint. Probably the best full-color photo guide that I've seen. If mushrooms are your thing, this book is a must-have.

5: Excellent
I gave this book as a gift to my husband who has been trying to learn more about wild mushroom hunting. He had read several other books, but said this one was more informative than any of the others--the best ever!
