Michael Kuo's 100 Edible Mushrooms
Gardening/Agriculture
An Excellent Introduction to Mycology
When I wrote about MushroomExpert.com, I was impressed by this comprehensive online resource for anyone wanting to know more about the mushrooms and fungi that we see in the world around us. In fact, I was so impressed with the site’s content and its humorous yet thorough and responsible approach to mycology that I ordered both of site creator Michael Kuo’s books right then and there. Now that I have both titles, 100 Edible Mushrooms and Morels, in my hands and have had a chance to check them out, I must say I am at least as impressed by the books as I am the website. Containing 100s of good-quality colour photographs, and descriptions in plain English, Kuo is certainly one of the most accessible mushroom authors out there. He's particularly valuable for us amateurs who just want to figure out what mushrooms we’re seeing in the woods (and maybe one day eat one or two of them!). But it’s really Kuo’s unique step-by-step approach to learning, represented best in 100 Edible Mushrooms, that I find so appealing. (more)
