Description
Fungi are diverse, delicious, and sometimes deadly. With the rising interest in foraging for wild food, learning to accurately identify fungi reduces both poisoning risk to humans and harm to the environment. This extensively illustrated guide takes a “slow mushrooming” approach, providing the information to correctly identify a few edible species thoroughly, rather than many superficially.
Wild Mushrooming: A Guide for Foragers melds scientific and cultural knowledge with stunning photography to present a new way of looking at fungi. It models “ecological foraging” – an approach based on care, conservation, and a deep understanding of ecosystem dynamics.
Key Features:
- Detailed Identification: Focus on thoroughly understanding a few edible species.
- Stunning Photography: Beautifully illustrated to enhance learning and appreciation.
- Ecological Foraging: Emphasizes care, conservation, and ecosystem dynamics.
- Comprehensive Guide: Combines scientific and cultural knowledge for a holistic view of fungi.
