Description
Edible Mushrooms: A comprehensive guide to foraging for wild fungi in Britain and Europe. Written by full-time forager Geoff Dann, this book covers every known edible species, as well as poisonous groups and unusual characteristics.
Beautifully illustrated with colour photos and a pictorial index, Edible Mushrooms helps you accurately identify edible and poisonous mushrooms, and distinguish between 'lookalike' species. The species accounts include information on the best time and place to hunt for each species, making it easy to safely forage for mushrooms.
Whether you're an absolute beginner or an experienced fungi forager looking to expand your knowledge, this guide is a valuable resource. It provides helpful guidance on how to recognise threatened species that should be left alone to help conserve them, and ranks edible species according to their difficulty/danger level.
