<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><i>California Mushrooms</i> is a comprehensive guide, providing information on when and where to find mushrooms; guidelines on how to collect and identify mushrooms; keys to species; and overviews of nomenclature and taxonomy, morphology and phylogeny, fungal ecology, biology, and mushroom toxins.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Winner of the CBHL Award of Excellence</b> <p/> California is one of the most ecologically rich and diverse regions of North America, and home to hundreds of species of mushrooms. In <i>California Mushrooms</i>, mycologist experts Dennis Desjardin, Michael Wood, and Fred Stevens provide over 1100 species profiles, including comprehensive descriptions and spectacular photographs. Each profile includes information on macro- and micromorphology, habitat, edibility, and comparisons with closely related species and potential look-alikes. Although the focus of the book is on mushrooms of California, over 90% of the species treated occur elsewhere, making the book useful throughout western North America. This complete reference covers everything necessary for the mushroom hunter to accurately identify over 650 species.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An excellent addition to the mushroom literature for the West Coast and should be in the library of all who would attempt to identify the mushrooms of California or surrounding areas." --<i><b>The Mycophile </b></i> <p/> "This book is useful well beyond discussing California mushrooms. You get a good comprehensive overview of the world of mycology, with all the types of fungi broken into their categories and with keys to help you identify the mushroom in hand." --<i><b>American Survival Guide Magazine</b></i><br>
