Mushrooms and Other Fungi of Great Britain and
Europe by Roger Phillips, Lyndsay Shearer, Derek Reid and Ronald
Rayner Without question the best overall look at
European fungi. There are shorter guides for those who are only interested
in eating mushrooms (like myself), but they should still arm themselves
with this book to confirm their identification. It is both comprehensive
and user-friendly: a rare achievement when it comes to the myriad of
confusing species that confront the would-be mycologist.
Reviewers An invaluable guide book - This book is quite simply invaluable to
the mushroom collector. Having previously used books with illustrations, I
found the photographs of enormous help. Their clarity is a testimony to
the hard work that must have gone into the making of the book. The author
successfully conveys an enthusiasm for the subject which spurs you to keep
looking for that elusive fungus. This book is worth it's weight in
chanterelles!!
An outstanding, thorough and brilliantly illustrated
guide - This was the first substantial book on
the subject that I acquired, nearly twenty years ago, and it remains
unsurpassed as an accessible yet thorough work with outstanding
illustrations. One of the best books about European mushrooms - This photographic guide by Roger Phillips
was a wonderful book when it was published first, and still is one you
must have if you're interested in mushrooms. I have a lot of photographic
mushroom books in my library, and, nearly twenty years after its
publication, this one has one of the highest standards in colour
illustrations of fungi. Click below for more information, or to buy from Amazon:
