Hundreds of full-color photos with easy-to-understand text make this a great visual guide to learning about more than 400 species of common wild mushrooms found in the Northeast.
The species (from Morel Mushrooms to Shelf Mushrooms) are organized by shape, then by color, so you can identify them by their visual characteristics.
Plus, with the Top Edibles and Top Toxics sections, you'll begin to learn which are the edible wild mushrooms.
The information in the book, written by Teresa Marrone and Walt Sturgeon, is accessible to beginners but useful for even experienced mushroom seekers.
Teresa Marrone is the author of a series of field guides and highly regarded books on wild foods. She has written for national and local magazines and has been foraging wild edibles for more than 30 years. Walt Sturgeon is a nationally known field mycologist with 40 years of mushrooming experience. He has served as Foray Chairman of the North American Mycological Association and has won awards for photography and contributions to amateur mycology.
