Falcon Guides Mushrooms by Todd Telander (2nd edition)

Compact and intuitively organized by morphology and family, get deep into the weeds, gills, spores, and mycelium of mushroom biology with this polished field guide. From the deadly Amanita muscaria to the delectable chicken of the forest, each species gets its own page detailing size, shape, and range and highlighting defining characteristics that differentiate the safe, edible species from its toxic, lethal lookalikes. Although there are lifelike, painted illustrations of each species, do not ingest any wild-foraged mushrooms you have not 100% positively identified, because all mushrooms are edible, but some only once.
