An authoritative field guide to more than 450 species of wild mushrooms from around the world, "Mushrooms" shows the life cycle and features of a mushroom, what supplies are needed for mushroom foraging, and how to take a spore deposit.

A photographic field guide forms the heart of the book, providing information on size, range, and habitat; clear images and illustrations of specimens; and information on what's poisonous and what's edible -- making this the ultimate guide to mushrooms.
