Simon & Schuster's Guide to Mushrooms (Nature Guide Series)

It's a thick and small size guidebook. Very convenient to hold in your hands. The only thing I was surprised is that the cover of the book was different from what is showing on the website. The pictures are in color and provide descriptive information about so many mushrooms. I got it for my 6 year old son. He went through every page many times and every day. He absolutely loves it! The book is in very good condition. The delivery took 11 days. The price is very affordable.

The best book for visuals of mushrooms!!!

I have given this book to several new converts to mushrooms. No other has such a good introduction to every aspect.

Love how illustrated and detailed this book is

This book is literally packed with hundreds of different mushrooms and fungi. If you have a love for mushrooms this is a wonderful read! The pictures are beautiful.

My husband is an avid mushroom hunter. Absolutely loves this book.

I was recently hiking in California and also looking for fungi. However, to make sure I can identify any fungi that I may encounter with certain amount of certainty, I needed a field book. Simon & Schuster's Guide to Mushrooms was the only one that I found in a bookshop. I was pleased to find the book quite comprehensive both in the number of varieties that it covers, and the descriptions for identifying the mushrooms found. There are also quite a lot of good photographs but are mainly showing the cap and stem and rarely from underneath the cap, which is a weakness of this book. Although it is not specifically for the North American fungi, I find it a very useful reference and not too heavy to carry in a backpack.

Outstanding shipping speed and an excellent quality book.
