Product Description

The north-eastern United States is home to an enormous variety of mushrooms -- some delicious, some deadly. This handy in-the-field guide offers identification information for some 50 mushrooms that mushroom hunters are most likely to encounter in the wild: Parasol Mushroom, Delicious Lactarius, Sulphur Shelf, Giant Puffball. It also features detailed photographs illustrating the characteristics to look for when identifying mushrooms and natural history information -- where they grow, when they appear, and the various forms they take.

1.0 out of 5 stars Common Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms of the Northeast, Oct 26 2005

By N. Straus - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Common Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms of the Northeast (Paperback)

This is a re-release of a 1960 booklet. It is of interest to historical mycologists but not very useful to amateurs who need a book to keep them away from toxic mushrooms. There are some good pictures; unfortunately, most of them are on the cover of the book.

this book is as simple as it gets, a great book to start out with. he covers the fool proof 5, some stuff to stay away from, and if your smart, more stuff to stay away from. if you know nothing, you will learn alot. if you want to identify as many mushrooms as possible, look elsewhere.

This review is from: Common Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms of the Northeast (Paperback)

I thought I was buying a nice colorful book with colorful pictures inside like on the cover. NOT! The cover is the best part of the book. The pictures inside are difficult to see exactly what the mushroom should look like and they are in black and white
