The third edition of this field guide (first published as The Savory Wild Mushroom) describes 199 edible, non-edible, and poisonous mushrooms commonly found in the Pacific Northwest, but omits the recipes included in the 1962 and 1971 editions. Grouped by the general types of the fruiting bodies, the entries feature a color photograph, give common and scientific names, describe the mushroom, and remark on its edibility and similarity to other species. The guide includes an up-to-date chapter on mushroom poisons. Beginners will appreciate the well-printed photographs and clear, nontechnical language. Advanced mycophiles will prefer the Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms (Knopf, 1981). |

Simon & Schuster's Guide to Mushrooms is indispensable to anyone fascinated by mushrooms and other fungi. Lavishly illustrated, it contains detailed information about 420 types of mushrooms and other fungi found in the United States and Europe. The comprehensive introduction provides general information on the structure, reproduction, life cycles, classification, and distribution of the various species and describes the individual parts of the fungus as well. The entries describe the appearance, habitat, and geographic distribution of each species of fungi. The easy-to-use visual key provides each entry with immediately recognizable symbols that indicate spore color, ecological environment, and whether the species is edible or poisonous. A glossary and analytical index, plus an Index to Genera for locating particular subjects, help make this the most beautiful, valuable, and authoritative book in the field. |
