Fantastic, exhaustive guide to Mushrooms common throughout the northeast. If you're interested in fungi or plant life in general, then this book would be perfect for you. I don't live in the Northeast or Northeastern Canada. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and it was fascinating to see which varieties of mushroom were common both here in the PNW and back East. I need to visit the Eastern half of the continent one of these days, but for now I just content myself with nature guides. Much less expensive than travel :)

Excellent book!! Everything you ever anted to know about the multiple species of mushrooms. The book gives you an amazing color picture of the mushroom, the scientific and known name, a full description, size, colors, smell, taste and more. it also tells you if they are poison.

Mushrooms are actually beautiful. The pictures re stunning. Some pictures are of the mushroom growing and others are of picked mushrooms. I never knew there were so many species of mushrooms growing wild all over the northeastern part of the united States.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

I am mad about mushrooms, I draw them, pain them and craft them - needless to say I love this book. Not only has it got some fabulous clear photographs of these mushrooms, but each page is filled with information on the size, colour, habitat and whether it is good to eat ( its taste) or if its poisonous. Oh it has over 600 pages - I am in heaven.
Having said that, if you are not crazy about mushrooms like me, it is an extremely useful book, very informative, just by the its sheer volume of the amount of fungi found in this area is mind-blowing, each beautifully documented and catalogued. Love it
