Mushrooms Demystified is THE classic book on mushrooms for a reason! David Arora's passion and encyclopedic knowledge about all things mushroom are both shared generously in these pages. 2,000 species are described within the 70 most common types of mushrooms, and shown in 950 color photos. Lots of detailed info will teach you your fungus terms and the meanings of their scientific names, where to find them, how to cook them, what sort of toxins are in some of them and how to avoid poisoning yourself or accidentally going on a wilder trip than the nice walk in the woods you had planned. 

Good for beginners and experts. If you're going to get just one giant mushroom book, this is it!
