How to Forage for Mushrooms Without Dying: An absolute beginner's guide to identifying 29 wild, edible mushrooms

by Frank HymanJune 24, 2015 Our Take: Just as promised, this is an excellent book for beginners who need a handy resource for their foraged fungi.  It provides checklists for identification, "What, where and when" tips for locating, preservation, farming and cooking tips too. 29 mushrooms are covered and the book is small enough to nearly call a handbook. We appreciate that most "field guides" do not focus on the edibility aspects and this book can be a handy addition to a proper field guide.

But for beginner foragers who just want to answer the question “Can I eat it?”, most of the books on the subject are dry, dense, and written by mycologists for other mycologists.  Frank Hyman to the rescue! How to Forage for Mushrooms without Dying is the book for anyone who walks in the woods and
