Exactly what you need submitted by chowcy on June 26, 2023, 10:20pm This is a great little book for beginners. Lifesaving advice, brief and interesting intro on fungi. Colored pictures with checklists to aid in identification. Author does not give odor/taste identifying characteristics because he thinks they are too subjective, which is fair. This is such a helpful little guide, it'd be great to own and have in your reference shelf.
