Absolutely stunning illustrations and interesting enough tidbits of information on each species.

This would be a great coffee table book or a fun introductory guide for beginners interested in learning about mushrooms.

I do wish the formatting of this book was a bit different - while the illustrations are stunning they are not great examples of what these mushrooms look like in real life. The addition of photos in the back of the book seems more like an afterthought than intentional. I would have preferred a mix of both illustrations and photographs within each section.

Overall its a really pretty book! Perfect for gift for a novice mushroom lover or an art fan.

A fun and light reference guide to fungi with beautiful illustrations. I would describe this as a lighthearted guide with basic information. Users looking for more in depth information about types of fungi will want to do additional research.

This is a lovely book that is both informative and aesthetically pleasing. The stunning illustrations set it apart from other books I have read on the subject. I would definitely recommend this work to anyone who is curious about the largely untapped power, mystery, uses--both for good and evil, and beauty of mushrooms.

Powerful Mushrooms is a non-fiction anthology of fungi. After a brief introduction, we delve into the 60 different fungi the author has chosen to showcase, across 6 different categories: delicious, visionary, poinsonous, medicinal, mycorenewal & incredible.

Each mushroom/fungi had it's own vibrant, beautiful illustration which I loved. There's also some photographs at the end of the book for more 'accurate' identification.

This was a great overview of the Mycete Kingdom, with wonderful illustrations, and interesting but concise information. It would be a great introductory reference book for someone interested in learning more about fungi.
