Picking mushrooms in the woods on a sunny day can be fun for the
whole family . . . but only if you do it safely There are thousands
of different species of fungi, so it can be hard to tell which are
edible and which are poisonous when you are picking them for
yourself in the wild. Safe and unsafe species often closely
resemble each other, and worrying about which mushrooms are safe
and which might be deadly can take all the fun out of mushrooming.
Enter "Mushrooming with Confidence"
Improving on the usual overwhelming and exhaustive wild plant
guidebook, "Mushrooming with Confidence" is a slim, handy manual
that focuses on the tastiest and most common mushrooms, so that you
can easily spot those that are not only safe to eat, but also a

Here mushrooms are divided into four identification categories
so that anyone will be able to recognize what he or she is looking
at quickly and correctly. Thirty of the most common and delicious

charcoal burner. Each mushroom includes a "Positive ID Checklist"
that the reader can go through to be absolutely certain they have
the right species, and more than 300 color photographs make it a
snap to know exactly what kind of mushroom you've found . . . and
whether you really want to pick it
