i don't know why i read this considering i do not like to eat mushrooms but it was a cute illustration style and it was fun to read about all sorts of mushrooms

I absolutely adore this book! I appreciate all the information, colorful information, and heart. I finally feel comfortable enough to forage some too (after years of only foraging fruits). I learned so much! Mushrooms are the future for so many wonderful things!

What a great little book on mushrooms.
Small, yet packed with informative info on some of the most interesting and recognized fungi. Notes include identification, culinary uses, growing regions, etc.
Recommended for mycophiles and newbies.

Such a delightful read, and even more fun that it's written by a friend! Meg distills her vast knowledge of the world of fungi into language that's accessible to those who are just getting started exploring the mushroom landscape. This book is a reminder of the fun that awaits when the snow melts...specifically morels...
