Some mushrooms feed you and some can kill you, and Miron Hard means to tell them apart. His guide covers the edible and the dangerous, from the agaric family through the great orders of fungi, with terms and keys for the forager. Thorough, illustrated, and cautious. A classic field companion for anyone gathering wild mushrooms. Learn to know the good from the deadly before you eat.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
