The remarkable thing about this guide to European fungi is the photographs. Each specimen is stunningly presented against a pitch-black background. From glistening grotesqueries to lacy parasols, every mushroom is a work of art. This isn't a practical field guide, even though the author (president of a French mycological society) provides information on growing season, habitat, and edibility. Rather, this is a book to be savored at home, perhaps after a day of careful mushroom hunting. From the forbidding black club of the Earth Tongue to the extraterrestrial beauty of the Blushing Bracket, fungus enthusiasts will find plenty of eye candy here. |
