does not tell me: what am I looking at? - Rated
There may be a place for this book in the comfort of your own home, perusing it and pondering about mushroom hunting. However, when you have it with you - in the forest - looking at a mushroom, what you need is a book that answers the question: What am I looking at?
This book does *not* answer that question.
other points:
- You don't really need a book to tell you everything and more on what a bolete looks like - you wouldn't go mushroom hunting if you don't know what they look like. So why waste the largest chapter of the book on it. ( I am not saying ignore them or the comparison to the devils bolete and how to identify it - but you don't need 1/5 of the book for that.)
- It gives so much random information that is fine and dandy but really: what am I looking at? The pictures are not clear enough
- the book is called mushroom hunting - not 'the history of mushrooms and other musings - so I want something that helps me with the hunting of mushrooms - not the other stuff
sorry, very disappointing. I went mushroom hunting with the book and left lots standing because I was unsure and could not find an answer in the book. So went with the ones I knew for sure - and for that I could have left the book at home
Mushroom Hunting (Collins Need to Know?) - Rated
Lovely book with beautiful illustrations. Written in a modern style. The book is slightly focused on an "all you need to know about mushrooms" but is interesting enough for anyone to read. All I was looking for was: how to identify mushrooms I meet walking through the woods; and can I eat it. This book tell you this but there might be simpler ones out there. Nice book.
