Description

Simply the best book available today on the identification of mushrooms and other fungi.

Unsurpassed in both illustrative and descriptive detail, Mushrooms contains over 1,250 photographs, often showing the specimens in various stages of growth and with various angles and ‘cut-throughs’, and includes all the latest botanical and common names as well as current ecological information on endangered species.

‘Roger Phillips has written the best mushroom book I know.’ – Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, author of River Cottage Veg Every Day!

The culmination of over thirty years’ work, Roger Phillips’s authoritative and superbly illustrated reference work is packed with information and original photographs. The essential illustrated mycological encyclopedia, this book is also clear, user friendly and will appeal to a wide range of readers.

Having sold more than 750,000 copies in Europe of his previous title on mushrooms, Roger Phillips’s Mushrooms once again sets the benchmark. Quite simply, nobody with an interest in the subject can afford to be without this book.
