The Beginner's Guide to Mushrooms is your ultimate guide to
mycology. Whether you've never picked a mushroom before in your
life or you've been cultivating mushrooms at home for ages, the
expert advice in this comprehensive mushroom manual will transform

interest, for their health benefits and medicinal properties, as
well as a new understanding of their crucial role in a healthy
environment and ability to regenerate damaged ones. If you are a
newcomer, mycology, or the study of mushrooms and other fungi, can
seem daunting. While other field guides are geared toward experts

by veteran mycologists Britt A. Bunyard and Tavis Lynch is a

cultivating, cooking, and preserving mushrooms. The Beginner's
Guide to Mushrooms opens with important basics about wild
mushrooming and how to use the book. Information about what fungi
are and their role in the environment and around the home is
provided in brief and very understandable terms. Basic wild
mushroom anatomy is discussed along with how to identify mushrooms
and various characteristics to look for-of great importance if you
are interested in learning how to recognize edible wild
species...as well as dangerous look-alikes. The guide then covers:
All the major groups of wild mushrooms, pointing out habitat,
region, and notable characteristics-large photographs with
easy-to-view characteristics facilitate correct identification.
Mushroom cultivation-with easy-to-follow illustrated instructions,
learn how to grow mushrooms at home, including how to collect wild
