Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An Identification Guide 15 reviews
Paul Stamets
Ten Speed Press, 1996
Why this book is vital to humanity as a whole
So many people are utterly consumed with their work life that they are avidly avoiding a spiritual experience, which is at the heart of what is ideal. This book may help serve as a gentlemenly guide to embarking on an organized hunt for fungi and an organized understanding of how to incorporate them into personal experience. Although some may argue with me, I would say this is actually high level ...

The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet76 reviews
Eleanor Cameron
Peter Smith Publisher, 2001
Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet
This is a great book which I read when I was 10 years old, and I never
forgot it. I'm nearly 60 now, and I wanted to find the book and relive the adventure. And so I did, and I loved the story now as much as I did
almost 50 years ago. The storyline is ageless, a frolic which is still
enjoyable.

A Field Guide to Mushrooms: North America (Peterson Field Guides(R))5 reviews
Kent H. McKnight
Houghton Mifflin, 1998
Still a standard field guide to fungi
This field guide is nearly twenty years old, but there are so few field guides to fungi that it still remains a standard reference. Like all Peterson field guides, it is handy and compact and can easily be taken into the field and pored over with the mushrooms in their wild habitat. The text is detailed and accurate and a "similar species" section is very useful. However, this guide uses painted ...

Mushrooms Demystified: A Comprehensive Guide to the Fleshy Fungi39 reviews
David Arora
Ten Speed Press, 1986
The title describes it best
Perhaps the best affirmation of this book is how I acquired it: it was assigned as a textbook in an evening class at a local community college, "Mushroom Identification and Taxonomy". That was 15 years ago. It was a regular 4 credit hour class, using microscopes to examine spores etc. I can't imagine what other book would have been used because it is so detailed and carefully organized. As ...

Sequels and Science......what a joy!!
This book follows the wonderful story set down by Cameron in her first book of the series.

William C. Roody

One of the Best Mushroom Field Guides Ever!
I live in New York State and have been collecting mushrooms for years - edible and otherwise. I already own just about every other field guide to identifying mushrooms and other fungi, so when I saw this book for sale, I thought "do I really need another?" Well, it turns out I did. This book is fabulous! The pictures are first rate, and sometimes provide identifying detail that pictures in ...

All That the Rain Promises, and More ...: A Hip Pocket Guide to Western Mushrooms29 reviews
David Arora
Ten Speed Press, 1991
for westerners, a must-have
I got this a few years ago at a class Arora taught in Ft Bragg. I keep it with my hiking supplies because I certainly can't carry Mushrooms Demystified: A Comprehensive Guide to the Fleshy Fungi around with me. This one is a great read and is enough, with its fine photos, to do decent field identification.
I can understand that people in other areas might be disappointed in the western ...

Hallucinogenic and Poisonous Mushroom Field Guide5 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.

In Search of Mushrooms
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 ...
