One thousand American fungi: Charles McIlvaine earned the nickname Old Ironguts by tasting them personally, and his monumental field guide reports the results species by species. Instructions to students, full classifications, and edibility verdicts backed by the author's own stomach. The most audacious mushroom book in American letters. Forage with the fearless.

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.
