Authoritative, comprehensive and a hoot to read!

If you're looking for the one fail-safe book on wild mushrooms, this is it. The keys contained within it are both comprehensive and easy to follow, and (as far as I can tell) every conceivable North American fungus is described within the book's pages. In addition, the book is actually fun to read -- Arora's got a great sense of humor, and he manages to strike a balance between rigorous taxonomy, humorous anecdote and eccentric perspective -- this book is the tops in its field, as far as I'm concerned. Buy it!

Putting the fun back in fungi

If you can only have one book on mushrooms - I pity you. You're missing out on a lot. But, if you can only have one, then this is the one you should have. As far as single volume, non-technical mushroom books go, this is the top of the line. Arora's clever text (One species is graced with the common name of "Yet Another Mycena"; edibility notes may consist of "Who knows? Who cares?") does not detract from the real learning of the author, nor does it overwhelm and bury the large amount of information to be found in the book

necessary reading

If you don't own this one, then you are not serious about mushrooms! A comprehensive guide that is easy to follow. Good technical level that is missing from a lot of guide books out on the market.

Overwhelmingly informative.

More information than the typical hunter would likely use. A good mix of factual knoledge and personal experience. Very entertaining and easy to understand.

A Shroomers Bible

Contains lots of cosmopolitan species. So the book is great for European readers. The ONLY minus is a lack of color photos, but the B&W pictures are good. The book has lots of humour so its very entertaining. A must for your mushroom library.
