Description
For amateur mycologists and foragers alike, the difference between a beautiful fungal find and a potentially toxic mushroom can be difficult to distinguish. Updated and expanded nearly twenty years after its original publication, Common Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms of New York, Second Edition is ideally suited to helping foragers of any experience quickly and accurately identify the potentially poisonous and unpalatable mushrooms of the region. Filled with photos and useful descriptions, this book provides key identifying features for the most common wild mushrooms foragers encounter in the region. The updated edition adds more than thirty species not included in the previous version, as well as updated terminology and photos to better prepare foragers. With recipes and additional advice, this is an essential resource for first-time and experienced mushroom hunters alike.
