5 out of 5 stars A great help to identification.   October 4, 2007

What a pleasure to use and so helpfull, information is key with mushrooms, if your not sure, dont touch it!
I find best to look out for a selection of specific and easily recognised and confirmed species, such as sulphur polypore, giant puffball, cep (penny bun) also Tree ears can be in abundance but dont fry them!! they jump about!
use them for sauces.
Happy Hunting!



4 out of 5 stars Knowing what to look for...   September 23, 2004

In picking mushrooms, there are 2 approaches:

- show the good and the bad and have copious notes to explain the two
- show only the good and advise the picker to ignore or discard anything that doesn't appear in the book.

Jordan follows the latter and safe as it is, there is always something that makes you want to know about the Dark Side of mycology, just in case you should wander into its temple one day...

Easy recipes, sound advice, safe approach.
