Field Guide to Mushrooms (National Audubon Society®)

Field Guide to Mushrooms (National Audubon Society®)

National Audubon Society® guides feature full-color glossy photographs that arrange specimens by similar appearance rather than by strict family grouping. This system is particularly useful when identifying fungi in the field, where several unrelated species may share similar markings. With more than 700 mushrooms detailed, this is one of the most comprehensive field guides to the mushrooms of North America. The 762 full-color identification photographs show the mushrooms as they appear in natural habitats. Each species' entry includes a detailed physical description, information on edibility, season, habitat, range, look-alikes, alternative names, and facts on edible and poisonous species, uses, and folklore. A supplementary section on cooking and eating wild mushrooms, and illustrations identifying the parts of a mushroom round out this essential guide.
