This is an exhaustive treatise on just about every fungus known to exist in North America. It's a big, thick paperback with info on individual species as well as how fungi lives and tips on cooking. Mushroom hunters tend to be nutty and David Arora is no exception; his dedication is total and he knows that it's a strange obsession. There's some humor in there as well. Alas this won't be useful for helping me initially ID a mushroom, but will instead be used to confirm or eliminate a suspect. It doesn't have enough color plates that are organized by color or type for that. I think I'll have to get the Audubon guide after all.… (mais)
The single best hip-pocket guide to mushrooms and mushrooming in the Western US. Well written and illustrated, witty and with some lovely recipies.
Just a little large for a field guide, but it still gets taken out into the field as the most comprehensive of all 'how to identify' book on mushrooms and fungi. A great reference book.
