"North American Mushrooms" by Dr. Orson K. Miller Jr. and Hope H. Miller copyright 2006 is a good one although it only uses the Latin names instead of the common names for the mushrooms. It has all full color photos with good details for each of the mushrooms in the book. And it's good for people new to mushroom hunting.

  I personally have come to love "Mushrooms Demystified", it really is a great book but it might be a bit much for a newbie. While it does have some color photos in the middle of the book, 90% of the photos are in black and white. But once you get some experience in mushroom hunting/iding, it's a really great guide to have. It has great "keys" in it that helps to narrow down a mushroom type.

  You can get both of these books (new) at Amazon.com cheaper than you could get them at a book store.

Definitely get mushrooms demystified.  "North American Mushrooms" is good for the east coast / whole country but its best to have a guide that focuses on the area you are collecting in.  David Arora is from santa cruz and he collected all over the state and to a lesser extent the west coast to write the book. 

Its not too much for a beginner, just right I think.  But if you want a smaller book with lots of color pictures get All the Rain Promises and More. 

But half the mushrooms you find won't be in there, just get mushrooms demystified, 98% of the mushrooms you find will be in there and its what everyone else is using.

To start I would say get "All that the rain promises..." by David Aurora, same author as Mushrooms Demystified (MD), which is a great book :thumbup:, but MD is a little intimidating as a first ID guide...

You can't go wrong with "All that the rain promises..." if you're in CA. I'm in northern WA and it's a great guide!
