Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms of the World: Is a well-rounded look at mushrooms, including their cultivation, ethnobotanical uses, and the fascinating roles they play in nature. The authors provide expert advice on how to identify and distinguish between edible and poisonous wild mushrooms and how to record important details, with suggestions for taking photographs and preparing spore prints. More than 250 stunning photographs accompany the text. The cornerstone of the book is a well-illustrated section describing the most common edible and poisonous wild mushrooms in the world, form the prized Perigord black truffle to the lethal and often misidentified death cap, from dead man's fingers, which grow in clusters that can resemble hands coming up from the ground, to Lampteromyces japonicus, whose gills glow in the dark. Truly international in its coverage, this engaging introduction to the world of mushrooms will appeal to naturalists, students, photographers, chefs, hikers, and potential growers around the world.

Includes information on the Morel mushroom (Morchellaceae/Morchella).
