Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest: Timber Press Field Guide

Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest: Timber Press Field Guide

by Joe Ammirati Author and Steve Trudell Author

One of the finest rewards of living in a grey, drizzly climate: mushrooms! Not the kind that grow on your bathroom ceiling after the neighbor's tub overflowed, but the kind that you spot during a hike in the woods as you train your eye to make out elusive, delicious morsels of mushroominess. Yummmmmm! Anyway, sorry, I got carried away. This is a guide book to mushrooms with well-written descriptions and clear photos that will help you identify 460 kinds of mushrooms and know whether to fry them up for dinner, leave them for the forest mice, run screaming, or just sit for a few minutes and contemplate the marvels of the mycelium. Happy foraging!
