    • Superb: The DK Guide To Mushrooms!
Format: Paperback
You know those wonderful DK travel guides that are SO good that you read them four times before you even go on vacation . . . including staying up til 11:30 pm with your honey being cranky for you doing so, are still reading them while standing even 300 yards away from the Eiffel Tower, are filled with info, tips and beautiful photographs ad infinitum, and once you are finished with them have a gazillion notes, crimps and bookmarks in them they look like a porcupine? Well, this book is exactly like those . . . except it's 100 times better! Absolutely superb! Gary Lincoff was one of if not THE world's leading mushroom authorities. (That alone should suffice for a reason to buy this book, don't you think?) The book is well-organized, documented and illustrated -- again, think DK travel guides -- and is ALSO light-weight and flexible to, yes, take with you on your foraging. (An important practical feature of this book actually that you will appreciate on your first outing.) Mr. Lincoff begins with mushroom gathering practices from around the world; proceeds with A-Z instructions of a mushroom hunt (i.e., what to do, where to search, what to wear, etc.); then, the bulk of the book, delves into the all important identification characteristics of the major mushrooms families; followed by medicinal mushrooms, what to properly do with the harvest including several recipes, and concludes with several appendices (cultivation, winter hunting, etc.), ALL of which, again, is illustrated with endless photographs, tables and tips. SUPERB! Are you getting the picture of how excellent this book is? I simply cannot say enough good things about it and highly recommend it! One more important note. If you are not aware of its publisher, Quarto Publishing Group, please look them up! I sadly admit that I hadn't heard of them prior to buying this book . . . but they are simply superb in the variety of topics they cover and how thoroughly they do so ALL at an affordable price: look, for example, how much book you are getting for your money with this book. In today's world, that is a service to us all for which Quarto should be thanked! Thank you, Quarto! ... show more

    • An excellent book when paired with a companion guide
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent book on Mushrooms, but not the only book on mushrooms that you should own. It is an excellent guide for a beginner like me and has information that even experienced mushroom hunters would find valuable. The Complete Mushroom Hunter Revised has beautiful full color photos, a wealth of information on various aspects of mushrooms, and useful details on hunting, collecting, and preparing mushrooms, along with mushroom lore from around the world, and incredible helpful tips. That being said, one must couple this with a field identification guide. My choice was the National Audubon Society "Field Guide to Mushrooms". The Complete Mushroom Hunter is not a field guide, nor is it the size and shape that would be friendly to carry along on a walk through the woods or park unless you chose a large-ish messenger bag or backpack. Furthermore, while this book can help you identify some species of mushrooms, it lacks the comprehensiveness of the Audubon Field Guide or other such tome. The Complete Mushroom Hunter will help you forage and identify common edible mushrooms and medicinal mushrooms along with their poisonous look-alikes. It will not, however, help you identify the many hundreds of other North American mushrooms you may encounter while looking for the common edible and medicinal varieties. I am very pleased with my purchase and would absolutely recommend this book to others. Happy Hunting! ... show more

    • Great book for anyone interested in mushrooms & mushrooming.
Format: Paperback
This is an updated edition of a 2010 book by the same name/author. Wow, this 2017 updated one, while having much of the same material is really amazing. It's well written, clear about the subject & thorough. Wonderful, accurate photos & descriptions. Describes the good mushrooms from the bad in in more than a brief paragraph. There is recipes, crafts & more! This is a great addition to anyones library who is mushroom addict like I am. And certainly an addition to mine. I just wish there was a pocket edition for the field. ... show more
