Mushrooms in the wild present an enticing challenge: some are
delicious, others are deadly, and still others take on almost
unbelievable forms. This field guide introduces 650 mushrooms found
in the Carolinas--more than 50 of them appearing in a field guide
for the first time--using clear language and color photographs to
reveal their unique features.
What's included:
Hundreds of full color photographs of Carolina mushrooms
Information on mushroom edibility and toxicity
Microscopic information
An overview of the Carolinas' role in the history of American
mycology
Perfect for those interested in learning more about mushrooms, the
unusually large number of described species makes this book a
must-have for experienced mushroom hunters as well as beginners.
Here, at last, is the field guide for North and South Carolina
mushrooms, from the mountains to the coast, presented in a single,
portable volume.
