4.0 out of 5 stars Mushrooms that is, Nov 7 2009

Great book on the topic.

Fairly easy to find the species, etc...

5.0 out of 5 stars An EXCELLENT Guide! (Even if you don't live in the West.), May 1 2004
I eagerly waited for this book to arrive to me because of all the rave reviews I read about it. Then when I found out it was a guide for WESTERN mushrooms (extending to Colorado; I live in the Midwest) I thought, Crap, I'm gonna half to return it. But the more I kept browsing through it, the more I wasn't going to return it. I LOVE this book! This is a good read even if you don't live in the area it covers. Some of a species described in the book I have actually found in my area.
The photography is excellent, and many times show different angles of the 'shroom. The descriptions are very clear and easy to understand and extra comments, stories and some cooking suggestions are included. However, this guide doesn't include all of the species; it's only made to be an easy-to-carry field guide. I would suggest a more in-depth guide as a compliment to this one. I've heard good things about Mushrooms Demystified (same author), and I am so impressed with this book that I am going to buy it as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar book, April 22 2003
By Robert G. Barker (Kennewick, Wa United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Great on the coffee table, great in the field. This book is a whole lot more than the description suggests. Try and find Yellow Feet (a prolific edible in the west) in any other book.
