An Initial Guide to the Identification of Mushrooms & Toadstools

Very basic guide to families that's too expensive for what it is really

Although it's essentially a brief booklet I still think this guide is worth it because it contains an incredibly useful piece of info that most mushroom ID books lack, namely a key to reliably assign your find to its genus. From there you can go on, using a regular ID book, to pin it down precisely. With this book I was able to figure out that the mushrooms growing on tree stumps all around here are sulphur tufts. No big deal for anyone with a passing knowledge of mushrooms but it was a big deal for me. So I'm happy to recommend this to any beginners like me.

Excellent field guide and key, to use in addition to conventional field guide. First saw this on a Fungi Foray with Liz Holden
