SynopsisA fully illustrated and user-friendly reference book that tells where and when to find edible mushrooms--with delicious recipes for each, With a dash of humor and a dollop of science, Michael Kuo selects the top 100 mushrooms best suited for cooking. Like Kuo's very popular book Morels , 100 Edible Mushroom s is written in the author's inimitable, engaging, and appealing style, taking the reader on the hunt through forest and kitchen in search of mycological pleasures and culinary delights. Kuo describes in detail how to identify each species, where and when to find them, and how to cook them in creative and delicious recipes. The mushrooms presented in the book are the most often eaten varieties, and a description of the button mushrooms found in the grocery store is included.

  • EXCELLENT!!!

    It's an amazing book. I have a number of reference books about mushrooms, and this one rates right up there with the best. Kuo not only keeps the read interesting using wit and wisdom, but he covers a lot of the issues people deal with concerning mushrooms as edibles. He takes the important and rational route by discussing toxic lookalikes FIRST, then references the passage as he covers individual edible species. The Audubon book and others cover many more mushrooms, but they're not focusing on edibles, which is what many people look for. Personally, I cross reference everything, especially with something like edible wild mushrooms. This is an important tool to that end.
