All That the Rain Promises, and More ...: A Hip Pocket Guide to Western Mushrooms

Rating:
Summary: This book is an essential!
Review: What can I say, but wow! It took me about three weeks and better than 12 hours of reading time to put it down. It has been indespensible on my hikes and has expanded and enriched the lives of myself, my husband and four children. Even if you don't think you love mushrooms, you will. An essential for any outdoor enthusiasts library!

Review: When I first came to the Pacific Northwest, I saw a poster tacked upon a library notice board, inviting all to join the local Mycological Club's Great Spring Hunt through forest & field. When I got to the point of amassment I was amazed at the collection of jesters, artisans, gourmands & woodland elves, camouflaged by outer layers of normal, placid humans. This Hip Pocket & self-contained field guide for beginners hunting wild mushrooms from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Coast, from the deserts of northern Mexico to Alaska is a delight. Funny people, funny fungus, funny photos & lots of useful information! I love it & it's a keeper! ......................
