Description Beginner’s Guide to Mushrooms by Britt Bunyard and Tavis Lynch
Whether you’ve never picked a mushroom before in your life or you’ve been cultivating mushrooms at home for ages, the expert advice in this comprehensive mushroom manual will transform your practice.
Never before have mushrooms generated so much interest, for their health benefits and medicinal properties, as well as a new understanding of their crucial role in a healthy environment. While other field guides are geared toward experts with advanced knowledge or regional in scope and aimed at only a few easy-to-recognize mushrooms, The Beginner’s Guide to Mushrooms by veteran mycologists Britt A. Bunyard and Tavis Lynch is a complete reference and guidebook to get you started identifying, cultivating, cooking, and preserving mushrooms.
It’s all here: the book starts with the basics about wild mushroom and information about fungi. Basic wild mushroom anatomy is discussed along with how to identify mushrooms and various characteristics to look for—of great importance if you are interested in learning how to recognize edible wild species…as well as dangerous look-alikes. You’ll learn all the major groups of mushrooms, cultivation, culinary uses and much more.

Much more to learn about mushrooms than I thought. Thanks for the giveaway.
What a cool looking book. I think we’d have lots of foraging fun with this one. Thanks!
Love mushrooms
Very interesting and helpful book. Thanks.
My grandmother and her sister would hunt for mushrooms in our woodlot. They were from Poland and said, that if you cooked the mushrooms and they turned purple, they were poisonous. Somehow, I would never trust this method. Although the puffballs, they found , were delicious. Sounds like a good reference book to have.
I wonder how easy it is to grow mushrooms yourself. I have seen kits. Has anyone tried this?
