Editorial Reviews

While "edibility" is part of the description of the 72 featured species this is not a guide for the gatherer. Bessette (Utica College) and Miller (Virginia Polytechnic Institute) and their wives focus upon those mushrooms not found in most guidebooks. Good color photos accompany the standard natural history. Paper edition (unseen), $17.95. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
