"[ All That the Rain Promises and More ] is certainly the best guide to fungi, and may in fact be a long lasting masterpiece in guide writing for all subjects." - Roger McKnight, New York Times
Synopsis
An illustrated guide to identifying 200 Western mushrooms - whether edible, poisonous, or medicinal - by their key features. In leafing through these pages, you may wonder what all the 'fanciful, ' 'foolish, ' or (shudder) 'extraneous' material is doing in a factual guide. After all, it is the practical, hands-on, how-to-identify information that makes this book useful and gives it substance. But I ask: is it any stranger or less desirable to sprinkle the facts with flakes of fancy than it is to liven up solemn, substantial fare like potatoes with something fancier and more flavorful, like wild mushrooms? - David Arora All That the Rain Promises and More ] is certainly the best guide to fungi, and may in fact be a long lasting masterpiece in guide writing for all subjects. - Roger McKnight, New York Times, " All That the Rain Promises and More is certainly the best guide to fungi, and may in fact be a long lasting masterpiece in guide writing for all subjects."- Roger McKnight, The New York Times Mushrooms appeal to all kinds of people-and so will this handy pocket guide, which includes key information for more than 200 Western mushrooms Over 200 edible and poisonous mushrooms are depicted with simple checklists of their identifying features, as David Arora celebrates the fun in fungi with the same engaging bend of wit and wisdom, fact and fancy, that has made his comprehensive guide, Mushrooms Demystified, the mushroom hunter's bible. "The best guide for the beginner. I'd buy it no matter where I lived in North America."- Whole Earth Catalog, An illustrated guide to identifying 200 Western mushrooms - whether edible, poisonous, or medicinal - by their key features.

      Arrived today! A great tool to own. I am a avid Mushroom gatherer once living in the Plumas national forest then woefully displaced in '20 by the Bear fire. Thank you kindly, for once again we have a copy of this coveted Guide!
