Mushrooms and Toadstools of Britain & Europe

by Edmund Garnweidner

This pocket-sized guide covers over 400 of the commonest species of mushroom and toadstool found in Britain and Europe. Each species is illustrated with a photograph and described in detail in the text, which includes information on colour, shape, smell, taste, time of year the mushroom is seen, and similar species. The guide is not arranged in complicated taxonomic order, but by shape for easy identification. This means that even the absolute beginner can identify mushrooms using this guide. Other features include additional helpful mushroom information at the back and a durable plastic cover.

A great reference guide for fungi likely to be seen in the UK. I use this regularly to check the identity of Fungi I photograph. Recommended for any one with an interest in mushrooms and Toadstools.

After learning about the toxicity of the Death Cap and Destroying Angel I decided to postpone my mushroom gathering trip until after visiting the pet shop to obtain some food tasters.

(Just joking)
