Chilton Agarikon Press, 1983 Super Informative This book is one of two I bought, the other being by the same autor and entitled "Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms".

As a beginning student of the wily mushroom, I saw this book at the elbow of almost every experienced hunter - even professors of mycology! Clearly a must-have.

Well, I think he is correct.             The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet82 reviews Eleanor Cameron Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, 1988 How a book can last a lifetime I won't describe the plot of this book, as a large percentage of reviewers in here have done that, so I rather speak about how this book made me feel. It seems to be a wonderfully recurring theme. I was about 11 (I am 41 now) when I first read this book, translated into Spanish as part of a juvenile collection. The book was originally my sister's, but became mine very quickly (I still have ...             Mushrooming without Fear: The Beginner's Guide to Collecting Safe and Delicious Mushrooms7 reviews Alexander Schwab Skyhorse Publishing, 2007 Perfect for beginners looking for edibles This book has clear guidelines and excellent photographs.

Allegro Gnostic Media Research & Publishing, 2009 Way Ahead of his time. John Marco Allegro's Sacred Mushroom and the Cross is not going to enhance your faith.

Some clarification is in order. Previous reviewer's comment: "Excellent book for identification but it doesn't tell you if the mushrooms are edible or not." There are 466 species illustrated and described. Edibility is explicitly discussed in 139 of the descriptions. ...             Edible Wild Mushrooms of Illinois and Surrounding States: A Field-to-Kitchen Guide (Field-To-Kitchen Guides)9 reviews Joe McFarland, Gregory M.

I remember having it read to me as child, knowing the words by heart, the beautiful pictures drawing me into the world of the story.

It will be a ...             Field Guide to the Wild Mushrooms of Pennsylvania And the Mid-atlantic (Keystone Book)7 reviews Bill Russell Pennsylvania State Univ Pr, 2006 Very Helpful I was able to meet the author of this book.

The photos in Michael Kuo's book are wonderful, the descriptions are clear, and I especially like that it has a section especially for "beginners" (of which I am one) that describes a few edibles that aren't easily confused with anything else. This section has helped me to locate ...             Hallucinogenic and Poisonous Mushroom Field Guide4 reviews Menser Ronin Publishing, 1996 I like this book. The information is clear and easy to understand. Perhaps some piece of data are a bit out-dated, but it is still recommended by me to others as a basic reference guide and starting point for learning about said varieties of wild mushrooms. It is pocket-sized, the illustrations are nice, includes a broad enough treatment of Panaeolus mushroom species, and the price is great.             Edible Wild Mushrooms of North America: A Field-to-kitchen Guide14 reviews David W. Fischer, Alan E. Bessette University of Texas Press, 1992 It's a Keeper! A great addition to our "Mushroom Library" Any knowledge we can gain in this field is a benefit. There were some realistic recipes and a few that made us wish Spring would hurry up so we could go "shrooming" for some of the mushrooms we haven't tried yet. The photos and key to identification were excellent. We checked this on the dozen or so mushrooms we know well and everything was right on, ...              search for books american, atlantic, beginner, christianity, collecting, complete, cultivation, cultivator, delicious, demystified, fertility, field-to-kitchen, hallucinogenic, identification, identify, illinois, keystone, medicinal, mid-atlantic, mushrooming, mushrooms, northwest, pennsylvania, peterson, poisonous, practical, promises, psilocybin, surrounding, wonderful books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
