LibraryThing Review
User Review - MsMixte - LibraryThingJust a little large for a field guide, but it still gets taken out into the field as the most comprehensive of all 'how to identify' book on mushrooms and fungi. A great reference book. Read full review

User Review - mrsgts - Overstock.comIve read that this is best field and informational guide for mushrooms. It is that and then some. The book isnt difficult to read but it is a lot of information in small print. I have to use a magnifying glass to read it. Read full review
