EDIBLE AND POISONOUS MUSHROOMS OF THE WORLD
by Ian Hall, Steven Stephenson, Peter Buchanan, Wang Yun and Tony Cole
by Ian Hall, Steven Stephenson, Peter Buchanan, Wang Yun and Tony Cole
This book is an introduction to mushrooms, including their cultivation, ethnobotanical uses, and the fascinating roles they play in nature. The authors provide expert advice on how to identify and distinguish between edible and poisonous wild mushrooms, with suggestions for taking photographs and other helpful hints. There is also a section on the poisons found in some mushrooms. More than 250 stunning photographs accompany the text.
There are more than 5000 mushrooms that are edible and many more that are inedible or poisonous, so clearly this book cannot cover all of these. Instead the book covers the most common edible and poisonous wild mushrooms of the world.

Whether the world's best truffles come from Piedmont or Périgord inspires impassioned debate, but the effects of dwindling supply and insatiable demand for the elusive mushroom are unquestionable: prices through the roof, intrigue and deception, and ever more intensive efforts to cultivate. As international mycologist Ian Hall and his colleagues have written, "Attempts at taming the truffle, of ordering its growth and harvest, now span the globe, and there has been some success in unlocking the secrets of what French researchers have aptly referred to as la grande mystique."
