Check the gills, the volva, and the veil before anything goes in the basket: Thomas Taylor's handbook teaches the anatomy that separates dinner from disaster. Structural characteristics, spores, and mycelium are laid out for American mushrooms edible and poisonous alike. Field botany with real stakes, written by a government microscopist. Study first, fry second.

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.
