Known as the meat of the vegetable world, mushrooms have their ardent supporters as well as their fierce detractors. Hobbits go crazy over them, while Diderot thought they should be “sent back to the dung heap where they are born.” In Mushroom, Cynthia D. Bertelsen examines the colorful history of these divisive edible fungi. As she reveals, their story is fraught with murder and accidental death, hunger and gluttony, sickness and health, religion and war. Some cultures equate them with the rottenness of life while others delight in cooking and eating them. And then there are those “magic” mushrooms, which some people link to ancient religious beliefs. To tell this story, Bertelsen travels to the nineteenth century, when mushrooms entered the realm of haute cuisine after millennia of being picked from the wild for use in everyday cooking and medicine. She describes how this new demand drove entrepreneurs and farmers to seek methods for cultivating mushrooms, including experiments in domesticating the highly sought after but elusive truffles, and she explores the popular pastime of mushroom hunting and includes numerous historic and contemporary recipes. Packed with images of mushrooms from around the globe, this savory book will be essential reading for fans of this surprising, earthy fungus.

This beautifully illustrated guidebook provides specific, easy-to-understand information on finding, collecting, identifying, and preparing the safer and more common edible and medicinal mushroom species of New England and Eastern Canada. Author David Spahr, a trained commercial photographer, here combines his mycological expertise and photographic skill to produce an attractive and detailed overview of his subject. Based on decades of practical experience and research, the book is written in a clear and forthright style that avoids the dry, generic descriptions of most field guides. Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms of New England and Eastern Canada also provides useful ideas for cooking mushrooms. Rather than simply providing recipes, the book discusses the cooking characteristics of each variety, with advice about matching species with appropriate foods. Many mushrooms contain unique medicinal components for boosting the immune system to fight cancer, HIV, and other diseases, and Spahr offers practical and prudent guidelines for exploration of this rapidly emerging area of alternative therapeutic practice.

The fifth order of the natural kingdom is made up of an estimated 1.5 million species of fungi, found in every habitat type worldwide. The Book of Fungi takes 600 of the most remarkable fleshy fungi from around the world and reproduces each at its actual size, in full colour, and accompanied by a scientific explanation of its distribution, habitat, association, abundance, growth form, spore colour and edibility. Location maps give at-a-glance indications of each species known global distribution, and specially commissioned engravings show different fruitbody forms and provide the vital statistics of height and diameter. Theres a place, too, for readers to discover the more bizarre habits of fungi from the predator that hunts its prey with lassos to the one that entices sows by releasing the pheromones of a wild boar. Mushrooms, morels, puffballs, toadstools, truffles, chanterelles fungi from habitats spanning the poles and the tropics, from the highest mountains to our own gardens are all on display in this definitive work.

If people knew how many poisonous plants are commonly found in homes and gardens, they'd be shocked. Plants as common as monkshood, castorbean, and oleander are not just dangerous, they're deadly. The North American Guide to Common Poisonous Plants and Mushrooms is a comprehensive, easy-to-use handbook. The book is split into four main categories: mushrooms, wild plants, ornamental and crop plants, and houseplants. Each plant entry includes a clear photograph to aid the task of identification, a description of the plant, notes on where they commonly occur, and a description of their toxic properties. Plants are listed by common name to assist the non-specialist.

Picture yourself wandering through a dense forest, the air infused with the earthy scent of moss and the gentle rustling of leaves underfoot. The forest, a silent storyteller, whispers tales of hidden treasures awaiting discovery. This is the enchanting world of foraging, where every step holds the potential to unveil the secrets of edible, poisonous, and toxic mushrooms. The allure of foraging lies in the connection it fosters between humans and the natural world. It's an age-old practice, a dance between curiosity and caution, as individuals explore the forest floor in search of sustenance and adventure. In this dance, the mushrooms take center stage, their various shapes, colors, and textures creating a living tapestry beneath the towering trees. Why forage? The answer is as varied as the mushrooms themselves. For some, it's a primal instinct, a return to our ancestral roots when our survival depended on a deep understanding of the environment. For others, it's a culinary journey, where the forest transforms into a gourmet pantry filled with delectable ingredients waiting to grace our plates. However, this journey comes with a responsibility—a responsibility to discern the edible from the poisonous, to navigate the forest with a keen eye and a cautious step. The introduction to this book sets the tone for this delicate balance, emphasizing the importance of accurate identification and the inherent dangers of misjudging the mushrooms that nature presents. As we embark on this exploration together, the pages of this book unfold to reveal the basics of foraging—safety precautions, essential tools, and seasonal considerations. We'll venture into the realm of edible mushrooms, discovering common varieties and their culinary uses, along with the art of harvesting techniques that ensure a sustainable relationship with nature.
