A treatise on the esculent funguses of England
David Badham and Frederick Currey
England tramples a harvest every autumn, said Dr. Badham, and calls it toadstools. His treatise on the esculent funguses catalogs their forms, colours, odours and tastes, their expansive power of growth, even their phosphorescence, all in defense of eating them. Mycology written with an appetite. Walk the woods with a man who saw dinner where others saw danger.
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.
