DESCRIPTION:
Field Guide to Mushrooms of Britain theo An excellent photo-guide that would have been far more useful to me six months earlier.Amongst the clear concise information in this volume is the fact that the Stump Puffball is inedible unlike the other true puffballs. The field guides I had last October all said that all the Lycoperdon were edible if eaten young, firm and white. All stating this to be true of the Pear-Shaped or Stump Puffball, Lycoperdon pyriforme.As some readers may be eating their lunch I will not describe the symptoms that I suffered.The only reason I don't g. kordula said Great book for mushroom lovers. Very good pictures and explanations to all the mushrooms. It truly is a field guide.great book for everybody that loves 'shrooming'
It concentrates on the more sought-after edible species but also includes many inedible and poisonous ones. This gives information on form, colour, spore colour, habitat, distribution and' edibility, enabling the naturalist or mushroom collector to identify each species that he or she finds.. Each species is represented with one or more large colour photographs which face a detailed description of the species. This new field guide to mushrooms includes the main species from all groups
